Leeds has an ace social scene and the university has a good reputation depending on what you want to study. Leeds has the biggest single campus in the country (well it did when i was there 2000 - 03. The areas near the university are very student friendly with a good mix of students, dossers, nutters and yoiung proffesionals. Making for really good community spirit with lots going for everyone. You can become a little closseted as to whats in the rest of the city but that doenst really matter when you are just finding your feet in a new place rome wasnt built in a day. Its like a little town in a city. Cost of living in comparison to other parts of the country am not sure but on average rental prices vary but on average your looking at £50 pppw in shared accomodation. The universitys have there own call it estate agents that provide student housing other than halls. They set standards that landlords have to adear too. Which is good as there are some propper con artists out there. Anything else you want to know just ask. I studied in Leeds loved it and never left. I have now been here 9 years. I did love LS6 student land but working shifts it got too noisy and I had to leave which was sad. There are alot of rich kids come to Leeds uni and it can be a bit snobby but that can happen anywhere.
