As DMU is a campus in the middle of the city centre, you do not need to commute to get around – you can just walk!
The city of 330,000 inhabitants (40,000 students) is big enough to be fun and to be able to offer you a wide range of activities, shopping, sports, culture and job opportunities and is small enough to have that small town feeling of safety and friendliness.
Leicester has actually been nominated one of the top cities to live and work in the UK by the 2016 Good Growth for Cities Index.
