The main city campus of LMU surrounds 7 ugly tower blocks built in the 60s. About 3 miles out of town is the Beckett Park campus, which is better looking and is surrounded by plenty of green fields and woods.
Leeds is certainly one of the cities in the North of England. Contrary to many pre-conceptions, the city has a vibrant, youthful feel about it, and also has some of the best clubs in the country, not to mention a branch of Harvey Nick’s...fancy some retail therapy, dahling...
However, both Leeds, many parts of the university and LMU seem to have suffered at the hands of 60s architects and developers. This period, not known for its architectural beauty, has resulted in a mass of concrete structures. Despite this there are many glorious Victorian buildings in the town, including the Town Hall, City Museum, Henry Moore Gallery and the Grand Theatre.
Socially Leeds has much to offer. Thanks to the tolerant council, Leeds is an all-night town with many clubs and bars open until the early hours. Some of the best clubs include, the Fruit Cupboard, Creation. and the Warehouse. Student offers include: Liquid at the Hi Fi club on Monday night has a cheap beer policy. Walkabout are still promoting their two for one offer on selected bottles such as Reef and San Miguel throughout the week nights (SUN-THURS) as does Bourbon Bar just down from the Walkabout except they include shots on their list of drinks particularly whiskey. The Warehouse at the other end of town has an interesting night on a Thursday called Tequila obviously the main drink there is Tequila
If you are a serious drinker, and fancy a closer look at the gutter, try the Otley Run, an infamous 14 pub pub-crawl, which includes such fine establishments as the Faversham (Fav) and The Dry Dock (which is on a boat). All in all drinks are cheap, so your student loan will stretch that little bit further!
Leeds also boasts MOJO, voted number 50 in a league of the world's top bars. Pretty impressive stuff.
