Depends exactly what you need to know.

I can tell you about the history, snickelways & where to visit, but don't expect any 'booze-news' from me

I'll make exceptions for buildings like the wonderfully detailed Olde Starre Inn (http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1457380875047309372RKICOg)

Hi There

I work at Trinity & All Saints (http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk) in Leeds,  my current manager was Director of IT at York St John (http://www2.yorksj.ac.uk/default.asp?Page_ID=77) before coming here.

It has a fairly good reputation within the HE's, if you do a google search for univeritys ratings, the results will give you an idea of what it is like academically.

As for the Student experience, try getting in touch with the Student Union (look on the website), i'm sure they will answer any questions you have.

Good Luck, hope you find what you're looking for and have a great time once you are there!  

PS: You will find freshers week so much fun  :lol:
