Student review [#27690] for English and Drama
at University of Leeds

Tutors for my humanities degree are usually hard working, engaging and thoughtful. It has been a pleasure to study here and the classes I have picked have been (mostly) interesting and enjoyable to study. The student life is very vibrant and engaging – there is a strong drinking culture but it is possible to engage in non-drinking student life. The clubs and societies on offer are brilliant and honestly the best part of the student experience, with so many on offer it is easy to find something you will enjoy – this experience is unique to Leeds. I greatly enjoy being a student here. However, the institution of the University is made up of an uncaring Vice Chancellor protecting the business aspect of the university above the welfare of staff and students. Their refusal to acknowledge rent strikes during covid and lack of co-operation with staff strikes is disappointing. The real people who are part of day to day life at university are great, but the institution isn’t. Leeds is still a brilliant university to go to and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
