University of Leeds accommodation

The list is split to show halls providing catered and self–catered accommodation and includes a section on halls that are no longer used as University of Leeds residences. Most sites provide general student accommodation but where all, or the majority of residents, are post-graduate or international students this is highlighted. Similarly, where residences include or are adjacent to particular facilities, e.g. music, sports, stores, food outlets, or entertainment venues, this may be mentioned. The distance between the residence and the campus and to the city centre are included where pertinent.
