First of all, we don't call them schools; schools are what children go to over here (unless you're talking about a subject-specific part of a university, which is called a School, e.g. School of African Studies).
Leeds is a fine city, I'm sure, but grey in a 'grim up North' kind of way, and from what I remember (I had a boyfriend at uni there in the late 1980s) the areas of the city that students usually rent in are pretty grotty.
Sussex uni is actually on the edge of Brighton, which is a brilliant place if you're into music or gay (men's) culture or alternative-y things or organic food or crafts or any aspect of 'counter-culture'. It's also on the coast and only an hour's train ride from London.
Newcastle is very far north, so cold in winter, but drier than you might expect in summer. The people are friendly and, along with Sunderland, just over the River Tyne, it's an up-and-coming centre for the arts.

I hope that's the kind of info you were after.
