I have just been offered a PhD studentship at Leeds. I want to know what you think of private accomodation or staying in student halls (and possibly as a tutor)

Well done on your offer!!! I too start mine this autumn, i hope you are as excited as me. I am hoping to get private accomodation, but then if you are new to the area, halls may be a good idea. I have been a student for a few years now, so the idea of more halls is too much for me to take!!!

If you want to stay in private accomodation, don't get a place in woodhouse, try for headingly or areas of hyde park off cardigan road.

Cheers
