Studying in summer?
Looking for a summer job?
Need some ideas?
Stay healthy and happy
Get plenty of fresh air, drink lots of water, eat well, and don’t forget to move! After all, summer is the best time to take a nice, long walk.
If you are struggling, please do seek help. Our Help & Support and Advice services are open all summer, and there are useful counselling and wellbeing resources on their pages.
Feeling lonely?
Switch up your study or work space for a nice cafe or library, expand your mind at a museum, or connect with the local community at an event – there’s always something going on in Leeds!
Worried about money?
Getting through the summer can be financially challenging. LUU and the University have pages dedicated to resources, tips and support to help you.
It might be more important than ever to take a look at your expenses and learn the skill of budgeting.
Essentials is open to support you if you’re struggling financially. Visit Essentials on the balcony over The Refectory to pick up free food and toiletries, and get some guidance.
Get outside
Whether you’re looking for an exciting city break, a visit to a historical town or a whimsical village, a picnic in a park or a hike in the hills, Yorkshire is the place to be.
And if you haven’t had the chance to get to know Leeds that well yet, now’s the time!
Get ready for the next year
Find your community
From basketball to ballet, from chemistry to chess, from fencing to film, from law to Lego – there’s more than 300 clubs and societies at LUU, and it is the best way to make friends, pick up new skills, and fill your days with memorable experiences.
