Leeds

Map of Leeds
Went with a group of friends to Leeds yesterday. It is about an hour's bus ride from the York city centre. As this is a day trip and we went in the late morning, we only have a few hours to walk around the shopping district, Leeds university, and buying groceries from a Chinese supermarket.

The impression is that Leeds is like any other big, busy cities. People are less friendly, more rude, and there are areas which you feel unsafe and should avoid if possible. The upside is that it is more convenient to get stuff that are familiar to home, and cheaper prices for daily necessities.

Overall, I am glad to be in York rather than some big cities like Leeds. If the reputation of the degree is not top notched, then at least the environment and atmosphere has to be something I couldn't have experienced in Singapore (or the top university that might have been.)
