I would recommend Leeds Uni to anyone. Its a well respected uni and the city is great. there is nightlife to suit everyones tastes, every night of the week and the shopping is amazing! I'm currently about to start my second year at Leeds and have just started renting a house in hyde park. yes its dangerous but i can't think of one city in the world that doesn't have a relatively high crime rate. leeds is high because there are 3 unis (=more drunken silly students.) student areas have more crime such as burglary because most students are too hammered to lock their front door or close windows at night and as such its like an invitation for crime. but if your careful and have some street sense i doubt u will encounter any of this. i've never had any problem in leeds on nights out etc...apart from drunken ppl but they r usually harmless. i wouldn't let ppl put you off of leeds!
