Pragya Sharma, postgraduate student: Leeds was an easy choice. I mean Russell Group, world top one hundred and research intensive.

(We now see postgraduate student, Emilio Rincon and undergraduate student Saraa Al Brashdi sat together in The Edit Room café.)

Emilio: I love this city you know, for me, it's like a home from home. It's big, but not too big.

Nametso: There's an amazing energy and the facilities are incredible.

(We now see undergraduate student Romy Harwood Walton sat in a communal area in the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building, then a shot of him talking to a tutor.)

(We now see Dr. Will Homoky, Associate Professor of Marine Geochemistry, in front of the Priestley Centre Climate Futures Building.)

Dr. Will Homoky: My research studies some of the human impacts on our oceans. And that's taken me from the shores of the UK to the shores of Antarctica.

(We see footage of a team working in Antarctica, craning material onto the ice, scientists drilling into the ice and a seal surfacing and jumping onto an iceberg in the Southern Ocean.)
