  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Absolutely brilliant! Much Cheaper than London or Cambridge. Your living cost might go up if you want to go shopping in London on weekends. The train tickets are expensive even after discounts applied.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I am not the kind of person who enjoys noisy nightlife. I'd say Leeds is fine by me.
