Leeds is home to five unique universities: The University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Trinity, Leeds Arts University and Leeds Conservatoire. This is a total of over 60,000 students , meaning you will never be alone. Although the universities are separate, integration opportunities are never rare, with shared student housing opportunities, sports events and socials. Members from all institutions are welcome to join UOLBC.​

 The University of Leeds is situated a 10 minute stroll away from the city centre. Full of bars, clubs and shopping facilities the city of Leeds is all a student needs. As well as this, the campus is located on the edge of Woodhouse Moor, a hot spot in summer for drinks, picnics and maybe even a game of rounders. The campus is only a short walk from Hype Park and Headingley, popular student areas in Leeds.​
