Hugo's first year experience
I visited a friend who was studying at Leeds and fell in love with the city. I got in touch with another friend who was studying Theatre and Performance at Leeds and she said the course was amazing; we’d studied Theatre Studies together at A-level and loved it, so I trusted her opinion. These two factors made me want to apply to my course and to Leeds.
