The Plaza

With the universities and the city centre a short stroll away, it’s impossible to be bored at The Plaza. Discover the amazing collection of modern British sculptures at Leeds Art Gallery, then spend some time browsing the Grand Arcade’s independent stores. Shop for artisan crafts at Our Handmade Collective, stop in for afternoon tea at Just Grand! Vintage Tearoom, then catch up with your friends over a craft beer or two in The Pit’s subterranean basement. In the evening, watch the opera at The Grand Theatre, or queue up outside First Direct Arena to see your favourite band play live.

Whether you choose to live in a fully-furnished ensuite room or a private studio, getting to classes is easy from Unite Students The Plaza. It’s a four-minute walk to Leeds Beckett University and a 10-minute walk to the University of Leeds. Keep a bike in the property’s safe storage for exploring on weekends, or stroll across the street to your closest bus stop. From there, it’s a short hop to the green oasis of Woodhouse Moor, with its skatepark, picnic lawns and weekend running clubs.

If you’d rather work out at home, hit the treadmills in the on-site gym, then soothe your aching muscles with a hot shower in your private ensuite. Afterwards, grab a cool drink from the kitchen fridge, then head to the common room to raid the vending machines and catch up with your friends. With an on-site laundry and a housekeeping team to clean the communal areas, you won’t waste time keeping things neat and tidy.

Later, sit down to your studies at your bedroom desk, using the free Wi-Fi to take quick social media breaks whenever you need them. When you’re finished, head to the on-site convenience store to stock up on essentials, then whip up dinner in your apartment kitchen.

If you feel like a night out, meet your friends at the Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen for live music, cocktails on the rooftop terrace and pizza by the slice. With all utility bills, contents insurance and security included, you’ll sleep easy in your oversized bed, no matter how late you come home.
