Accom recs for an exchange student!
Hi everyone!
This week I got accepted into Leeds as an incoming international exchange student. I'm really excited as the most I've seen about the UK is Shoreditch lol. Anyways, I have a few options regarding residencies, given that as an international exchange student I'm guaranteed a spot in one of them. Commute isn't really that big of an issue, so keep that in mind while reviewing my choices, but I really do care about the aesthetics of the place. I come from Latin America, and would love to get the classic "Victorian" experience.
1) Ellerslie Global Residence: The "International" accomodation. This is both a plus and a con. Plus: I get to relate to other international people, maybe even those that speak my mother tongue. Great! Also, Catered. I've never lived outside of home and I'm concered that my **** cooking skills will either drive me poor or malnourished. Con: I'm doing an exchange for a reason. I want to meet English people and hopefully start growing some roots in this country. Also that price! Yikes!
2) Lyddon Hall: Advertised as "The Victorian One". Appealing for obvious reasons. I don't play the piano yet love the idea of there being one. Once again, the price is ridiculous, but it's catered so...
3) James Baillie Park: Another catered option, and all the rooms come with a double bed!! Sweet! This one, however, is self catered.
4) North Hill Court: The cheapest of my options and, if I'm lucky, I might get a balcony room. I'm an occasional smoker, so that would be really nice. Draws: It's self catered and there's only a shared bathroom option.
That's it! Let me know which one you would recommend if you have or haven't attended Leeds

Since I'm an exchange student I just have to pick a parent faculty. I chose Music! I'm not a musician (I'm actually studying to be a journalist back in my home country), but I adore their courses on music and culture. (The only one that comes to mind rn is Music in Context 1 ajajajajajja)

Hey I’m selling my room for 2024/2025. It was newly built a year ago and it’s an en-suite in a modern accomodation. If you were interested I could give you my socials to message on, as this accomodation is quite close the city centre and all the universities
