I’d recommend the University of Leeds to anyone looking to study in the UK. You can study anywhere in the world, but the opportunity to meet so many people from different backgrounds is only something you can do in places like Leeds.

The weekly Global Café in the students’ union was one of the first things I went to. I met so many people from all over the world. It’s really lovely – you talk to lots of people over biscuits and tea, and find people with the same interests as you.
