Leeds, in Yorkshire, is one of England's great student cities: young, lively and authentic. You learn English in the middle of everyday British life, far from the tourist crowds.
Why choose Leeds to learn English?
Leeds is one of the largest cities in the north of England, with the young feel of a university city. Victorian arcades, markets, museums and parks sit side by side in a compact centre that is easy to explore on foot. Outside class you mix with students and locals: this is real England, with its football, its pubs and its own way of speaking.
Daily life revolves around the centre: Briggate and the Victoria Quarter for shopping under Victorian glass roofs, Kirkgate Market for a bite to eat, Millennium Square and the Town Hall for the city's big moments. To unwind, Roundhay Park has wide lawns and lakes, and Kirkstall Abbey, on the River Aire, is a ruined abbey.

City life and landmarks
Shops are open all week and there are supermarkets in every neighbourhood. Buses and trains link the districts, and the centre is easy to cross on foot.
During a stay, many students choose a host family in a residential district linked to the centre by public transport, or a student residence in the city centre. Your adviser helps you choose according to your budget and routine.
Experiences worth having: a day in York, a walk in the Yorkshire Dales or a trip to the Lake District, all offered by the school as excursions, plus a city tour of Manchester.
