mrs grissom Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My lad moved to Leeds after he Graduated and got fed up commuting from Sheffield. He was lucky in that one of his mates got a job in an accountancy firm in Leeds at the same time so they shared a flat in Wellington Place . Yes it was a little more expensive than further out but they could walk to their jobs in five minutes flat. Same went for the station. One big downside was the lack of car parking .his flat mate had to pay extra for a space in the car park , but he offset that by claiming the large bathroom in the flat . My lad had the room with the en suite. They found the nightlife good , everything walk able . Shops and restraints excellent too . In fact , another three of his mates from Uni have also now moved to Leeds too . Seems a good place if you don't want to move down south. However , my lad went a bit further and now lives in LA . Not nearly as handy for the train ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJC1 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Lived in Leeds for a few months and worked there. In my opinion its a much better place for a young single person then Sheffield. More to do, more going on, better work opps and better places to live. It's probably not as safe, but its still OK if you avoid certain areas. Try Chapel allerton, the city centre, headingley, meanwood, alwoodley. Avoid harehills, chapeltown, parkhill.. York is only 25 mins away from Leeds too and thats another great place to live. I see myself moving up there in the next 12-18 months. Only family keeping me in Sheffield at the moment. Be prepared to pay a little bit more then you would in Sheffield but in my opinon, for a single person like yourself, its well worth the extra pennies.

rubydazzler Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I know of somebody who went to live in L***s and they actually turned into a sheep!That's not really true, is it? People who actually know about living in Leeds rate it highly for the young 'uns, so we have to bow to their superior knowledge. I'd guess that if the op is qualified for a professional job, she has more chance of getting one in Leeds than she has here. Sad but true And if she doesn't settle, she can always come back. The door is always open for stray lambs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
