is kristel brewery very close to headingley and i have applied for LMU AND I GOT A CONDITIONAL OFFER so i was wondering how far is the city center were all the pubs and clubs and shopping centers are from kristel.

i would suggest getting a bus its not very near really, there is pubs neaar but city center will need bus journey and also its not near headinly (another bus needed) hope this helps :smile:

all the pubs and clubs and shopping bits are in the centre which isnt close to Headingley i live in Woodhouse (housing association so i rent already from a social landlord) actually i live surrounded by 1st year St Marks Uni of Leeds residents and 1st year Woodhouse flats Leeds Met students and i walked to Headingley from here when i went the open day and at my walking speed given i am a speed walker it took me 30-40mins walking to the Headingley Campus ... Kirkstall Brewery is if i am correct no where near the campus or the city centre to be honest and you would need to travel by bus into the centre perhaps then to headingley
Id advise anyone to come to Leeds and do a dummy run from what accommadation you have in mind

Opal 1 and 2 is located near Burley Road just down road from Leeds City College where i am studying now ... iQ Accommadation is 5mins down road and round a corner from me close to the Londis store with Post Office inside and the launderette (Charing Cross) if the name makes you think of London its because its located in the Little London area of Leeds

Charlton ones are closer to the centre but you would need the bus to get to Headingley or a bike to cycle there if you wish to keep fit perhaps :smile:

Hope that helps anyone out ... not sure on Mill Street ones

How quickly will the places in halls fill up? I want to go to Opal I think, but I'd like to have a look round first but my open day isn't till 10th March... Don't really want to book without looking first, but I also don't want to miss my chance to get a place.

I dont know answer to that as im not at Uni myself till this September Opal looks nice from outside its about 15min-20min walk to centre really :smile:

Maybe if any current student of LMU read this thread they might be able to give you an indication though Universities do prioritise the first years with accommadation esp those not in the Leeds area :smile:

opal fill up pretty quickly and you have until june 2010 to book but by then i doubt there would be any left well a few would be.

I've just applied for Opal1/2... Its an extra £400 per year I think, but it seems so worth it, seeing as every room has an ensuite and there's a really nice gym and pool actually on site!! Also because I have friends there who says its good, but i suppose anywhere you go will have nice people in and you'll have a great time!!

Is anyone doing a business or law degree and going to saturdays applicant day?

I too have applied and been offered a place at Leeds Met for media and popular culture. I was looking at staying in Carlton Hill as it looks friendly. I was just wondering are first years housed with first years? Thanks :smile:

yes and some freshers aswell...

im looking at applying at opal but havent had the chance to view any of the accomodations so was wandering if anyone knows what the difference between delux and standard rooms are (if im not too late)
also anyone know what the bike storage is like, id be taking a pretty expensive bike and one of my main concerns is storing it
