Before you arrive in Leeds.

Before you arrive at Leeds, you will receive loads of information telling you all about the University and Leeds University Union.

This will give you a good idea of what to expect when you get here, so be sure to have a read.

Here's what we recommed you do before Freshers' Week lands (besides getting excited)...
