  • Live Laugh Leeds

    Well, where to begin. The exchange was single-handedly the best decision I have ever had during my time at UTS. It offered me the opportunity to solo travel all the way over to the other side of the world in the midst of their European summer to attend university. During my time at Leeds, I…
