How to make friends at university

By Laura G

Leeds is such a wonderful city to be in, especially for students. Everything you need is literally a few steps away. There are a lot of markets, shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and pubs all around the city.

...I got to explore so much and meet new amazing people. I would say that Leeds has made me less homesick than I actually expected. It's such an ideal place to visit, study and live.
