Living in Leeds

If you decide that Leeds is the place for you to study (and we hope you do!) there's a wide range of places for you to choose to live.

You could be in a chic city centre apartment just yards from your lectures, or get something more spacious in the suburbs and take advantage of the city's excellent public transport links.

The universities offer accommodation to first year and international students in purpose-built halls of residence, and you should contact your university during your application process to find out more.

If you want to find private rented accommodation, the best place to start your search is Unipol - a non-profit-making charitable company, which works to provide students with high-quality lettings in the Leeds and Bradford area.

All Unipol houses and flats are designed with the particular needs of student tenants in mind. Safety, security and location are given a high priority, as is the provision of a high standard of amenity.

There are also a number of Unipol-approved lettings agencies in the city, who offer even more properties, all of which are checked independently by Unipol to ensure they are suitable and safe.
