Friendliness of student body?

I love the University of Leeds, the only negative things I have heard is about the students themselves being cliquey.

I have heard rumours it's all Jack Wills wearing, bitchy, cliquey kids?

I'm working class but I don't mind posh kids. I possibly prefer them (I wouldn't go to university if I didn't). But I don't like elitist snobs or cliquey, pretentious people.

Is this an accurate perception?

I'm looking for a university with a friendly, community vibe? I know the big unis aren't going to be the best for that but is Leeds particularly bad?

Many thanks for your time :smile:

Hi, I'm hoping to go to the university of Leeds im September and I'm sure you have nothing to worry about! Regardless of where you go - you will meet different kinds of people and some you will like more than others - naturally!

Im going to University of Leeds in September to do Sociology and Social Policy. Im a mature student, well Im 50, the mature bit might be slightly optimistic, lol.
