LEEDS CONSERVATOIRE
Overall Rating

I have loved every minute at Leeds College of Music, I feel that the student, lectures, staff are all so pleasant and make you feel so welcome. They are always there whenever you need anything especially for end of year recitals. They email you about any upcoming events within college even if it’s not the instrument you play or the course you are on. They make sure that everyone can get involved and enjoy themselves.

Student Union

I felt that the student union this year were Brilliant. They planned fresher’s exceptionally well as they made it enjoyable for everyone and in order to bring everyone together so they can socialise, which I felt in our first year we didn’t do. The people who run the student union are also really friendly and a laugh to be around which brings such a friendly atmosphere to the university.

Clubs and Societies

I currently haven’t joined any societies as I feel I don’t have the time due to so many rehearsals, practice and work to do I felt I needed to prioritise my time.

Accommodation

In my first year I lived in Joseph Stone house which was really convenient as it was right next to the University. However it was good but a lot of kitchen stuff got weren’t working properly and the heating in my room never seemed to work. It would come on for a few moments then switch back of so in the winter this was not convenient. Also we had a few times a shortage of hot water.

Uni Facilities

The University Facilities are great, I feel however there could be more practise rooms as they are so competitive to get so maybe more would help. The usage of instruments is amazing as if you are ever short of an instrument facilities will have what you need. However as a saxophone player I feel that the tenor saxophone and baritone aren’t very good as they are always seem to be broken. Being a part of a quartet it is essential that the instruments work well as then we can have a productive rehearsal.

Course and Lecturers

I think that the teaching here at Leeds College of Music is excellent. I feel that in every lesson I am a part of the group and that If I have any doubts about anything I can always ask for them to explain or go over it with me at a later time. However I do feel like the course should have more opportunities to perform as at the moment we only have lunch time concerts that we are a part of once every semester and the classical showcase which I believe is once a year. I would be great if we had more chances to perform.

City Life

I absolutely love Leeds city, as coming from a town quiet small it was something completely different. I feel that it is brilliant for night life here as there are always places to go and see. Also it is very convenient for shopping both food and clothes which I loved.

Job Prospects

I am also unsure about this but I believe that they will support us in every possible in making sure we have a job after uni or supporting us in the future.

Student Support

I don’t know much about the support at our university but I understand that there are all sorts of support from finance to well-being to just having someone to talk to. I think this is great as it is advertised around university so you are never too far away from any one to talk to.

Having said what you have said would you recommend your uni?

Yes
