I collected first hand research on what students at Leeds College of Art thought were the most important social and cultural benefits of studying here. The questions I asked were the following, In your in opinion what are the social and cultural benefits of LCA? and What attracted you to study here?

Q1 "In terms of social benefits I would say the student union is beneficial as they organise parties, events and sport activities. Even though I don't take part in most of these events, I believe its a great option to fall back on for social activities" "From time to time I notice a creative community that you could call a cultural benefit. Recognizing the same faces at LCA events and outside college events gives a sense of the Leeds creative culture"
Q2 "Sometimes I think this cant be a legitimate reason but I found the prospectus and website really engaging so I picked LCA as one of my five choices. As I did more research into the college I realised it was a really prestigious institutions and the fact it was a specialist college would only benefit me more" "In terms of the location of the college, only being a short distance from Newcastle was another reason to study in Leeds",

Q1 "Since the start of second year I have noticed that the 170 year anniversary of LCA signified how important the alumni of the college are. I realised the college has a real legacy which is a real benefit for me once I graduate"
Q2 "Leeds as a city attracted me to study here, its not too big or too small and has a cool scene that is getting more recognition"

Q1 "Its helpful to have animation next door then graphic design a floor below, it eases concerns about how'd an illustrator such as myself would fit into the creative industries. What I mean by this is that LCA feels like one big creative studio, where you can seek help easily"
Q2 "I visited the city a few times before moving here as a student and felt at ease straight away, its laid back thats why"
