There is quite a lot of free parking very close to Leeds University, which is also (in my opinion) quite safe. However you must get there before 7AM (or after around 3PM) to be sure of finding a space. I park there nearly every day. Cloberry Street and Cromer Terrace are good, but Clarenden Place and Cromer Street are even better. There are no restrictions. Postcode LS2 9JU
