how big is leeds as a city..

Leeds city centre is a fair bit smaller than Manchester city centre, but Leeds as a city is generally more condensed (most of the centrey stuff is actually around the centre and near each other, where Manchester is quite spread apart).

Leeds is a lot nicer than Manchester, though, by any standards.

Leeds is small and boring. Unless you liked to get pissed 24/7

It worries me that you all might be future lawyer's doctors etc... Your supposed to be at university but can't even understand simple stuff.
