Leeds is once again buzzing with excitement as thousands of students arrive in the city to begin university life.
From suitcases and storage boxes to parents making one final trip to the car, the city has been transformed as freshers move into halls and student accommodation ahead of the new academic year.
For many - the move marks the beginning of a completely new chapter, and their first time living away from home.
And for those arriving with a mixture of nerves and excitement, here are the things nobody tells you about Leeds before moving here for university.

7. University societies
Take advantage of the hundreds of societies available for you, it’s the ultimate way to kickstart your university experience and find your community of people. | Tony Johnson
8. "The Library" is not what you might think
If someone says they’re going to ‘The Library’ they’re probably not going to study, they’re most likely going to ‘The Library’ pub in Woodhouse. On a Monday, it is the place to be for £2.50 pints and an electric atmosphere! | James Hardisty

9. Outside of university
Leeds is so much more than the university bubble, there is tons to explore outside of the student areas and the city centre. | Tony Johnson
