Leeds Law Applicants 2014

I've applied and also received an access to Leeds offer of abb if I do 2 essays definitely making it my from and I just loved the uni. The gym was also pretty amazing. I just hope I get in!

Planning to do the accelerated graduate programme (2 years). Finished Politics degree there last year. Old'un at 22, or not.

Oh wow! How is 22 old??? That's not old! What did you think of the uni as a whole when you were studying politics? Any insight would be awesome

Haha, I know but the way my dad wants me to get on with it would make you feel as if you're 26 haha! Leeds is an awesome place. Very lively city-style campus feel to it. If you're coming from London like I did/am, you will be use to it. it's cool having so many people you're age with more freedom, the same as any other uni. You do find a lot of weird people there, but obviously lots of similar people too. I play a lot of sport and am very serious about it, and all sports clubs are cool, but if you don't play a sport, I would definitely encourage you to join any other society of interest during the freshers fair. Get involved. I didn't bother doing this as i relied on my cricket and still managed to make tons of mates that way, but I will definitely make another effort when i go back to branch out more.

Nightlife is amazing, gym is amazing, awesome campus. Politics workload is far, far less than Law so that will be the biggest change for me. Ask if you have any questions. Any idea of halls, or are you waiting to get accepted and all first?

I've been a few times. went up recently to look at a couple of the unis and fell in love with Leeds. You should come to barbados! They have cricket tours down here all the time. Especially now that its winter up in the UK.

Ok wow. I know it'll be a lot of work but I think its still going to be a big shock when I actually start.

What made James Baillie only OK?

I think just that the people were from a little bit of a different background and maybe I just got a bit unlucky with my flat/floor. You get put in literally at random!

Have you been to the UK much? I need to go to Barbados at some point. Maybe a cricket tour or something.

Politics workload was minimal to be honest. Lots of extra reading on top of 4-8 contact hours a week that many people didn't do, then it was a case of knuckling down before exams/essays.

Law will be different. Expect 20+ hours a week and plenty to do in the library for a couple of extra hours.

I lived in James Baillie in first year and it was OK. Private housing second and third year. Want to go back to halls next year at Charles Morris because it is the best in my opinion. Right next to all lectures and gym... just need to find somewhere to park the car, as it is rammed around there during the day

I'm thinking of applying to Leeds as my first choice for September 2015, is Law a big jump from A Levels, some people tell me its a lot less difficult (I study AS History, French, English Lit and Politics). Also, which is the best accomodation hall (affordable self catered ensuite) Also, how are you doing - are you in your second year? DD

Same here, it's like hogwarts in some parts but then really modern in others :') what halls are you thinking of applying for? I quite like central village but heard it's really difficult to get into, so I'm gonna look at Leodis and opal 3 on the accommodation day

So true! That is definitely one way to describe it I really like Central Village (along with everyone else lol) and I also like Concept Palace, Sentinel Towers and James Baillie. Let me know what you think about those two when you go to visit. When are you going for the Open Day?

I will do, the accommodation day is march 22nd , are you going to the applicant open day?

Just got an offer for LLB Law from Leeds! maybe i'll see you guys in September
