    I can only comment on mill street because its where I am living.
    mill street is great if you like the following...

    lads who love to drink lager until they can no longer maximize their already depleted brain capacity to the point where all they can manage is the odd comment about vulva, black people actually being decent people, and ****ers who arn't like them.

    the fact these people actually attend institutes of higher education speaks badly for the country but the fact that around 95% of the tenants here leeds met students says enough.

    they are northern, love rugby, smashing girls in, having a laugh and their choice of literature consists of zoo and nuts magazine. the girls are similar in nature.

    if you are a leeds uni student - stay away. chances are you are going to uni for a reason and therefore staying at mill street will drag you down.

    plus its quite a walk to the uni.

    I visited my friend when he lived there and it's nice, very modern and the rooms are decent sized. It's still close to town but a walk to uni depending on what building of the uni you're in.

    I've lived in One Mill Street for a year now, It's amazing. If you still have not made your choice, do it now. Top millers.
