Click on the links below to learn about each of the universities and colleges in Leeds, and below each you will find the links for the Student union of that particular university or college.
Headingley – Just a 20-minute bus ride from the city centre, Headingley has much to offer students who choose to live here. Prices are more budget-friendly than the city centre but you will still have access to some great shops, restaurants and bars. Housing for students is pretty mixed here, from large homes for multiple occupancy to many terraced homes. Leeds Trinity is just one stop on the train away, whilst cricket and rugby fans will love living here.
Hyde Park – Rental prices here reflect that this is a popular area with students and demand is high. Halfway between the city centre and Headingley, Hyde Park is perfectly situated for not only easy access to the city centre, but to the University of Leeds which is about a 15-minute walk away or only a 5-minute bus journey.
Burley – If you are looking for a great area with cheap rent, you just found it. Just a 20-minute walk to the city centre, Burley has much to offer students with plenty of local amenities including a cinema, restaurants, bars, gyms, and supermarkets.
Woodhouse – Cheap, and close to the Uni and city centre. That is this area’s best assets and explains why more and more students are looking to rent here, despite the areas less than glamorous image. Just a 10-minute walk from the city centre, local amenities are not quite so important although you will also have easy access to Hyde Park Corner where you will find plenty of pubs and cafes.
To be honest, there are no areas of Leeds that are
unsuitable for students. Each area has a different vibe and local amenities,
but the transport system is so good in Leeds that you can get to any of the
universities fairly easily.
