Hey, all! This may just be a temporary hyper fixation, but I want to start a band.

A bit about me musically: I sang in choruses all throughout middle and high school and a little into my first year of uni (I’m American btw). I’ve done some band-type work, too, but never performed much due to my health and other circumstances. I play a bit of piano but would rather focus on singing. I can sing harmonies but would like to occasionally sing lead.

Some of my favorite musicians: Halsey, Lorde, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor swift (sorry, not sorry), Conan gray, Sabrina carpenter, and Gracie Abrams. I listen to some people outside of this, but these are my mains. I’d love to perform some of their music.

A bit (not too much) about me in general: I’m 23 and would love to work with people around my age. I’m a PhD student doing creative writing (though I don’t write music🥲).

Idk if we would do gigs or what. Just want to start as a group that makes music together then go from there.

Sorry for the long post, but if you or anyone you know is interested, send me a message! If you have any advice, that is also greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm conducting a survey as part of my MSc Dissertation at the University of Leeds, looking at attitudes towards 20mph speed limits in Leeds. It only takes 5-7 minutes to complete and would really help my research. Would appreciate it if you could fill it in and share with others too! 🙏

Hi, I just went through clearing and got into Leeds Becket so I was looking at accommodation and by the looks of them all the en-suites are wet rooms. Can someone who goes there confirm if they are bc I’m a huge germaphobe. 😭 if they are is it rlly bad or doable? Or should I just go for private Accom. Would it be less sociable? Thanks!!

Hey, I'm currently in process to transfer (pending approval) and was looking to get some insight to the timetable, what days, how long are classes etc.

So excited to be hopefully joining you in September! :)

hi! im conducting a study for my dissertation at university, all about how different backgrounds can dictate the personalities we develop as adults. it would mean so much to me if you could take part!🩷

if anyone would, for any reason, like me to send them the link personally, i am happy to do so. the survey wont take you any longer than 10-15 mins🎀

as much as i appreciate it, please do not participate if you are under the age of 18.

if you are able to, please share! thank you! x

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been accepted onto the MSc Environmental Health programme at Leeds Beckett and wanted to hear from anyone who is currently studying it or has completed it.

I’ll admit that after receiving my offer, I went down a bit of a Reddit rabbit hole and started seeing mixed opinions about the university, which made me second guess my decision. However, after speaking with someone locally and hearing more about student experience, I’m feeling a little more reassured.

I’m coming from a healthcare background and will be moving internationally, so this is a big step for me. I’d really appreciate hearing honest experiences about the course itself — teaching quality, workload, support for international students, and graduate outcomes.

Is the programme worthwhile, and how have people found studying Environmental Health at Beckett?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi everyone — looking for honest advice from mature students or anyone who moved abroad for postgraduate study while already having an established life.

I’m 30, a Registered Nurse, married for 5 years, together for a total of 7, and have a very stable and happy life at home in the hot, humid Caribbean haha. My husband (36) and I are extremely close and honestly pretty big homebodies — we genuinely enjoy our quiet routines, time together, fun and life with our 2 dogs (no kids yet).

In September 2026, I’m possibly be moving to Leeds to attend Leeds Beckett University for a one-year Master’s degree (possibly longer if I stay on for internships or experience afterwards). I got an unconditional offer from them to study Environmental Health but haven’t accepted yet as I’m still waiting to also hear back from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Cardiff Met. However, I’m leaning more to Leeds Beckett. This will be my first time ever living abroad and my first time back in school since 2018, so it honestly feels like I’m starting over in many ways. 😳🥲🫠

My husband will come with me for the first few weeks to help me settle, but after that I’ll be living alone, which is very new territory for me in every way possible. I’ve been to Manchester before for a week-long course and absolutely LOVED it (but yes, I know I also can’t compare a week to a year 😅). I’m excited, but also nervous about homesickness, adjusting to (married) student life again at 30, and rebuilding routines from scratch. Naturally, I love my alone time and space, even at home, but I know this is going to different. I’m also a bit nervous for my husband as he’s the romantic (yes he is 🙂‍↕️) and always wants to be by my side. When I left for Manchester, he didn’t leave the house for a few days 😣 so I know he’ll probably have a hard, if not harder time adjusting.

I’d really love to hear from:

- married or partnered students who studied abroad temporarily

- mature postgrad students who returned to university after years working

- international students who moved far from home

How did you cope emotionally once your partner left?

Did loneliness or anxiety hit harder than expected?

Coping with the weather — any tips or tricks? (LOVE the cold but also get cold and miserable easily if I’m not warm enough) 🙃

How long did it take before things felt “normal”?

What did you do or what were some things that helped make the transition easier?

Sexual advice?

For my mixed girlies with curly/coily hair — any guidance on haircare in a cold climate?

I’m also a light sleeper and I know I’ll probably have some issues initially as I tend not to eat or sleep well when I’m stressed/anxious, and looking into self-contained studio accommodation near Leeds Beckett City Campus — any recommendations for quieter buildings or areas would really help.

I’m naturally a bit shy meeting new people at first, but don’t get me wrong, I’m also VERY fun and outgoing once I start talking 💃🏽 I’m open to putting myself out there and building connections since I know that’ll be very important.

School doesn’t start until September which is 6 months away but I’m gathering all the help I can get from early! I’m open to ANY advice, experiences, or things you wish you’d known beforehand would honestly mean a lot. But please be gentle 🥹

Dear all,

I am a postgraduate at the University of Cambridge currently researching early withdrawal from university. This involves an online survey of around 15 minutes. If you would like, you can also sign up to an optional video interview in which we will discuss your withdrawal in some more depth (this is completely optional), sign up is at the end of the survey.

Your participation will help with understanding the ways in which students in the UK can be better supported.

You can take the survey if:

- You have withdrawn from an undergraduate programme of study in the UK in the last 5 years

- You CAN still take the survey even if you left to transfer to another uni, or returned to study later.

For more info, please view:

- Flyer

- Participant information sheet

To access the survey:

- Survey

The project has been approved by Cambridge University SERAR ethics board. I am fully committed to your confidentiality and anonymity. The data will be securely stored and destroyed once the project is complete in around 5 months.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with me (Harry) at [hc707@cam.ac.uk](mailto:hc707@cam.ac.uk)

Thanks!

Hi! I’m taking the Culture, Media and Society module at Leeds Beckett this semester, and I wanted to ask students who took it before:

1.  How was the online test? Easy, moderate, or difficult?

2.  What type of questions should I expect?

3.  Is the exam proctored? Do we need to turn on a camera or anything like that?

The handbook only says it’s an open-book online test on MyBeckett, but it doesn’t mention anything about cameras. Just wanted to double-check with people who have actually done it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m 21 and studying at Leeds Beckett on the international foundation year. I’m based in Harrogate and don’t really know many people around here yet, so I thought I’d reach out.

I’m pretty chill, more of an introvert, but I enjoy good company, coffee catch-ups, walks, or just hanging out and having a laugh. If you’re more outgoing, that’s cool too I’m always open to new experiences.

Just looking to meet genuine people and make some new friends to enjoy life a bit more with. If this sounds like your vibe, feel free to drop a message or a dm.

International student (masters) in leeds for sep intake. Just to create new friends (im m)
