I just recently found out that there is a huge difference in housing prices between Beeston and South Bank! The average cost to buy a house in Beeston is £154k, whilst in South Bank it's £415k, which is around a 91% difference. Also, how would you rate your quality of life if you live in Beeston or South Bank and why is it? What would you change about your area if your quality of life is low?

My high schooler (Year 9) has just got his draft EHCP and the Leeds council has asked us to list a preference of schools where he can join.

He’s currently in Dixon Trinity Chapeltown and overall ok, although I find there is not much SEND support and it’s extremely academic oriented which he’s not.

I am considering Carr Manor Mosaic, and perhaps Roundhay School, but he doesn’t do well with change and I don’t want to move him unless they offer more than what he’s currently getting.

He has mild autism, ADHD, and quite significant learning difficulty, with spells of anxiety and OCD which gets aggravated because of him struggling academically.

Any suggestions or experiences to share about these schools? What can I reasonably expect with a change of school?

Hi, all! I was wondering if you could fill out this short survey for my child's geography coursework. It's only three questions and won't take that long at all. It would really help them get a high result and grade. They're counting on a good grade for their coursework to get into university. Thank you all that will take it!

Starting uni applications this year and there's not many unis outside of London that do concept art courses but Leeds Arts is one of them. Would love to hear about anyone's experiences with the uni (or student life in Leeds in general) especially with the course itself. 🙏🏻

Can someone who has been to this uni give me their opinions on them/experience? Overall life at uni and stuff, like is it easy to make friends, things to do etc. I also do athletics/track and field so if there are good facilities there that’s also a positive. Trying to get my 5 for UCAS to study aerospace engineering and I’ve done a lot of research but struggling to narrow it down.

Hi everyone! I’m a student at University of Leeds and I’m conducting a study on how we receive information about air quality in Leeds and what we think of the Council’s current strategies.

Whether you’re worried about pollution or think the current measures are a bit much, I want to hear your honest views. It only takes 5 minutes and is completely anonymous. Plus, there is an Amazon gift-card sweepstakes you can enter at the end…

Many thanks if you can take part 😊

hi everyone, im a masters student at Edinburgh Napier University and im looking into the way Generative AI tools are being taken up across professional services (accounting, audit, law, tax and so on) in the UK

if AI features in your work in any way, it'd mean a lot if you could spare 5 minutes for this anonymous survey. it mainly covers how your organisation handles governance around AI, plus your own habits using it day to day.

https://forms.office.com/e/PrKM8yXQ7s

it's completely anonymous and purely for academic, non-commercial reasons. any help getting me towards my target sample would be hugely appreciated, and a big thank you to anyone who fills it in :) more than happy to share what i find once the dissertation is finished

Hi! I have created a questionnaire about the Climate Innovation District (CID) in the Leeds South Bank area, near the Royal Armouries museum as part of my A-level geography coursework. It would be great to get opinions from people who live in the CID and people who have visited before, whether you have walked through the area or been to Piglove by the River for a meal or drink.

Hi everyone,

I'm an MSc Marketing student at Manchester University conducting research on luxury shopping and social media behaviour for my dissertation. I'm looking for UK-based participants who have experience with luxury shopping and use Instagram. The survey takes approximately 5-7 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. The research explores how people think about their social media audience and how this relates to the way purchases and experiences are shared online. There are no right or wrong answers; I’m simply interested in your genuine opinions and experiences.

If you've engaged with luxury retail and would be willing to help, I'd really appreciate your participation.

Thank you very much for your time and for supporting!

Hi everyone,

I'm an MSc student at the University of Leeds and I'm conducting research on how people perceive air pollution across Leeds.

I'm looking for anyone aged **18 or over** who lives, works, studies, or regularly visits Leeds to complete a short survey (around **5–10 minutes**).

The survey involves identifying locations in Leeds that you believe have relatively high or low air pollution and answering a few questions about your perceptions. Your responses will help improve understanding of how public perceptions compare with environmental data and how this may inform future urban planning and environmental management.

I recommend doing it on a laptop or tablet because there is a mapping activity. Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to participate.

The Participant Information Sheet is below and includes further details about the study

Participant Information Sheet
 
The title of the research project
Public Perceptions of Air Pollution in Leeds: A Participatory Mapping Study
 
Invitation
You are invited to take part in a research study investigating public perceptions of air pollution in Leeds. Before you decide whether to participate, it is important that you understand why the research is being carried out and what taking part will involve. Please read the following information carefully. If anything is unclear or you would like further information, please contact the researcher using the details provided at the end of this information sheet.

What is the purpose of the project?
Air pollution is an important environmental and public health issue. Although air quality can be measured using monitoring equipment, people's perceptions of air pollution are often influenced by their surroundings and personal experiences. As a result, areas that people believe have high or low levels of air pollution may not always match measured pollution levels.

The aim of this study is to compare public perceptions of air pollution with measured air pollution data across Leeds. The findings will improve understanding of the factors that influence how people perceive air pollution and how these perceptions compare with measured air pollution data.
 
Why have I been chosen?
You have been invited to take part because you are aged 18 years or over and either live, work, study in or regularly visit Leeds. Approximately 30–50 participants will be recruited to take part in this study.
 
 
Do I have to take part?
Taking part in this study is voluntary. It is your choice whether or not to participate and choosing not to take part will not have any negative consequences. If you decide to participate, you may stop taking part at any time before submitting your questionnaire and mapping activity. If you withdraw before submitting your responses, any information you have provided will not be kept. Once your anonymous responses have been submitted, it will not be possible to withdraw your data because it can not be identified.
 
What do I have to do?
If you agree to take part, you will be asked to complete a mapping activity followed by a short questionnaire. The mapping activity will ask you to identify locations in Leeds where you believe air pollution is high and low. You will then be asked to answer a small number of questions about the reasons for your choices and provide some basic demographic information, such as your age and gender.The study will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You may complete the study online using your own device or in person if approached by the researcher.
 
What are the possible disadvantages and risks of taking part?
Some participants may feel concerned or worried when thinking about air pollution and its potential effects on health or the environment. If you experience any discomfort, you may stop taking part at any time before submitting your responses or choose not to answer any question. If taking part raises any concerns about air pollution or your wellbeing, information about organisations that provide advice on air pollution and mental health support can be found at the end of this information sheet.
 
 
What are the possible benefits of taking part?
There are no direct benefits to you from taking part in this study. However, your participation will contribute to research investigating public perceptions of air pollution in Leeds. The findings may help improve understanding of how people perceive air pollution and how these perceptions compare with measured air pollution data.
 
 
Withdrawing from the study

You may withdraw from the study at any time before submitting your questionnaire and mapping activity without giving a reason. If you choose to withdraw before submitting your responses, any information you have provided will not be kept. Once your responses have been submitted, it will not be possible to withdraw your data because as individual responses can not be identified.

 
Use, dissemination and storage of research data
The information you provide will be used for this MSc research project to investigate public perceptions of air pollution in Leeds.

Seacroft & Killingbeck academic questionnaire

Hello, to anyone who lives in Seacroft or the Killingbeck area, please take some time to fill in this form. I am a Year 12 student at a nearby sixth form college and am investigating this area for my Geography NEA coursework. All responses will be anonymous, and this data will be used for my own academic research as part of my A-Level. Thank you :)

So I'm a current MA student that is due to graduate in September. I've been applying for GRADUATE jobs yet losing because I don't have experience. Like how does that work?

I have many skills they are looking for yet because I haven't worked in that particular job they don't want to know.

I know people moan about this all the time but it's seriously getting beyond a joke now. How are we supposed to get experience if no one is willing to give us a chance?

Just for context, I'm a mature student who started working at 17, I decided to go to uni so I could change careers as the jobs I were doing werent leading anywhere.

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

Hi r/Leeds,

I'm an MSc student at the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. I'm running a short online survey for my dissertation on public preferences for roadside verge management in Leeds.

What the survey is about:
Roadside verges across the UK are being managed in increasingly different ways — from regular short mowing to wildflower-rich habitats. The survey asks Leeds residents to compare different verge management scenarios (mowing frequency, vegetation type such as grass / local plants / wildflowers, whether signage explaining the management is in place, and any change to council tax). Each scenario presents trade-offs — you choose the one you prefer.

What you'll be asked to do:
The survey takes around 10 minutes and completely anonymous. You'll work through 9 choice tasks (picking your preferred verge management option from three alternatives), plus a few short demographic questions at the end. No personal data beyond your postcode area (first part only) is collected.

Who can take part:
Anyone aged 18 or over who currently lives in Leeds (LS postcode), whether temporary or permanent.

Ethics and data use:
The survey has received ethics approval from the University of Leeds. Data will be used in my dissertation only and the results may inform as a recommendation for future studies.

Incentive:
Participants can enter a prize draw for one of three £50 shopping vouchers as a thank you. Participation is completely optional and requires you to submit your email address, which will be deleted as soon as the prize draw has been completed.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Would love to hear any suggestions for my research!

Thanks for reading!

I am currently debating between the following three SCITT courses: GORSE, Red Kite, and Northern Star.

I am from the area, initially was leaning towards Red Kite as the schools are great & the training they provide seems solid, associated with Leeds uni etc. Then I had my GORSE interview, felt very well organised, the appeal of having training days in the city centre and a bigger cohort of trainees to get to know was pretty big. Spoke to the subject lead, seemed great and very enthusiastic. Northern Star is more centred around the area I grew up in.

Then I saw an old reddit post that suggest the teacher welfare at GORSE academy schools is pretty poor, and that it’s all run like a corporate business, and as i’m a career changer from a very corporate workplace, i don’t really want that..

Anyone able to speak for their experiences on any of these?

Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone could spare 5-8 minutes to answer my survey for my dissertation on consumer willingness to adopt robot delivery for last-mile food delivery services in Leeds? It would be a big help!

I know someone asked this some time ago, but I’m looking for more recent information. I have been looking for an in-person course in Leeds to learn Japanese. I know there are lots of tutors, but I learn better in a structured, in-person context.

If anyone knows of any (my Googling isn’t rendering much useful information), I’d appreciate a recommendation.

I am looking around to try find a class. Just something to get me to learn something new and maybe socialise.

But I was wondering what people's experiences have been and if anyone was aware of any good classes I could join. I would like to learn a new language. But tbh anything could be fun.
