Fall 2024 Participant
The University of Leeds has certain faculty that are leading experts in their fields and teach classes that only a handful of universities in the world teach. So it was really nice being able to learn from industry leaders and have direct access to them.

Fall 2023 Participant
I learned that the course work is a bit different than how it is at KU. For example, throughout the semester, we didn't have homework or quizzes, we just had two major assignments/tests that made up our grade for the class. Another thing I learned while on study abroad was that it really is important to continue to do the things you would do at home while abroad. For me specifically, this meant that I made it a priority to get plugged into a church, but it could also mean that you join a sport or make sure to go to the gym on a normal basis. This will really help with settling in and making your study abroad experience feel more like home!

Fall 2024 Participant
The University of Leeds is a really diverse campus and I got to meet people from all over the world. My flat mates were from different countries, including South Africa, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Korea. Moreover, since the campus is really close to the city centre, it makes it even easier to spend time with friends and explore the city, or take a train to London and Manchester for a day trip.
