My life at university!
Student life is pretty great and I am thoroughly enjoying myself! The course is engaging but definitely challenging at times. There’s a lot of coursework, but I enjoy the subjects I’m studying. Some of the professors are amazing, while others could be a bit more engaging, but that’s just part of the experience.
The commute isn’t too bad; I’ve got a relatively short journey, so it’s manageable. Some days the public transport can be a bit hectic, but it's nothing too crazy. Accommodation-wise, I’m in university halls at the moment, and it’s convenient. It’s nice being close to campus, though the room is a little cramped, and I could definitely use more storage space.
The social scene is where things really shine. There are loads of clubs, societies, and events to get involved in, so it’s easy to meet people and make friends. The nightlife is buzzing too, which is perfect if you’re into that. I think what could be better is having more study spaces beyond just the library. It would be nice to have quieter spots around campus to focus or just relax.
All in all, it’s a fun time, and I’m really enjoying the experience so far!

University of Leicester Review
The University of Leicester has truly become a place I love and appreciate. From the moment I started, I’ve felt supported, challenged, and inspired. The campus itself has a great atmosphere, and the sense of community among students and staff makes it feel like home.
My law course, in particular, has been an incredible experience. The lecturers are knowledgeable and passionate, always willing to help and push us to think critically. The course is structured in a way that balances theory with practical application, preparing us for real-world legal challenges. I’ve also had amazing opportunities to get involved beyond lectures, such as the Pro Bono Society and mock trials, which have deepened my understanding of the law and strengthened my skills.
Studying law at Leicester has not only shaped my academic journey but also given me confidence and direction for my future career. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

Nothing is dull at the University of Leicester
Studying at the University of Leicester has been a great experience so far. The city is very student-oriented, with shops, hair salons, restaurants, and other convenient places within walking distance, such as the City Centre. The social life in Leicester is never dull, and there is always something to do as the people here are great! The campus is picturesque and exudes a positive vibe, with places like the David Wilson Library containing a beautiful interior that makes you feel warm.

Law school
The University of Leicester was my second choice, as I initially wanted to end up in Birmingham. When I got to Leicester, I loved how the campus wasn't too big and all the first-year students lived in a little student village in Oadby. The student life was amazing and provided a great chance to mingle with new people. I studied Law and the course itself was great, with an option to do placement years and also an option to take an additional exam rather than complete a dissertation. Having completed my three years at Leicester, I could not see myself anywhere else. I made friends for life and the community was great.

English literature
My first year of university took place during the pandemic, so the majority of classes were held online. I found online learning to be more cost-effective than commuting to campus. My tutor during my three years at university was incredibly helpful and provided valuable insights into my post-graduation plans.

Medicine at Leicester
Medicine at Leicester personally is great. As a second year student the preclinical years (first two years) are very scheduled and you have two lectures and group work everyday where you discuss answers with your group and a doctor is in the room with you to help check answers. I think this is a valuble learning method and would recommend it to anyone. The social life is also promising at Leicester as the university is only 15 minutes away from town where there are plenty of restaurants and activities to try out with friends.
