I remember I entered in my flat early before any of my roommates to arrive, but trust me i haven't felt unsafe. This university property is so secured as well is kept very clean. Apart from this, I can get groceries and cafe's are situated so close to my place. And an assistance required is provided so soon. It is totally worth every penny. Also, cherry on the cake is that you won't be late for your classes :)

The facilities are great, but the proximity to the university student union also means that there is lots of noise at night and I can’t sleep well.
Thank you for your review and comments regarding the facilities. We are sorry that the noise from being located right on campus is disturbing your sleep. Please contact us if you wish to discuss this further - thanks!
Happy in my Cozy Space! Heathfield stands true on expectations. I'm liking my accommodation so much because it's super secure with three gate security, close to City Centre and Nethergate cafes. It has got an amazing wifi facility in here which helps me to watch and study anytime. Cozy heating and a good room view is the exciting part of everyday student life.
Thank you for your lovely review! Glad you are cozy!
Overall Heathfield is a good accommodation. The closeness to campus as well as grocery stores and the mall cannot be undervalued. For what we pay however, more amenities could be provided to us. Free gym membership or free access to the pool. Provide us with a toaster. Small things like that.
Thank you for your review and comments regarding additions that would be beneficial to you

thank you for your 5 star review! So please you are enjoying your stay in Heathfield and feel safe!
While many of my peers were complaining about their accommodation or were afraid of being scammed, I found myself at peace and secure in my accommodation at Heathfield. Being an international student in a foreign land is not always easy, but at least I don't have to worry about where I stay, eat, and sleep. Though a bit expensive, my rent covered all the utility bills, high-speed internet, 24-hour hot water, and heating. The kitchen is also well-equipped with stoves, an oven, a fridge, and a freezer. I must also acknowledge their prompt service delivery. When we faced a problem with our oven, it was replaced with a new one within the shortest possible time. Fire safety is also top-notch, and I commend the housing's zero-tolerance policy for racism and abuse. Due to my apartment's location in the centre of the University of Dundee, I don't have to pay any money for my travel to the university, the city centre, or the supermarkets, which are all located within a 1 km radius.
Thank you for you review and comments regarding the accommodation suitability for you as an international student. We are so pleased you are enjoying your stay with us at Heathfield!
Love living in Heathfield residences! The property is well maintained and every repair is addressed to quickly :)
thanks for your kind review !
The facilities here are quite good and very good environment
thank you for your 5 star review!
I like the environment. It’s cosy and very close to lecture theaters, the gym and shops and restaurants. It saves me a lot of time.
Thank you for your review!
It needs to be regularly checked and visited by the cleaners/managers so that if it is unclean, some responsibilities can be handed out
Thank you for your review. Residents are responsible for keeping the flats clean and tidy. The ResLife team can help with speaking to residents about cleaning rotas etc to help everyone. We carry out termly inspections and if you need assistance or have concerns with regards to the cleanliness please let us know.
All in all, a wonderful accommodation. Would definitely recommend for future students.
thank you for your lovely review!
Great feeling of community and a wonderful way to make new friends and meet lots of new people from different backgrounds!
Thank you for your lovely review!
Heathfield residence is good, but the monthly rent is relatively expensive.
thank you for your review. The monthly rent includes all bills, access to the University WiFi and network connections, 24hr staff and security and maintenance
Clean, safe, and great community. Perfect for international students.
Thank you for your 5 star review!
Having moved here 2 months ago to study my LLM in International Oil and Gas Law, the experience has been pleasantly surprising as everything is in close proximity from one another, I get to my classes quite easily because Healthfield is placed right on campus grounds. The rooms are quite spacious and most importantly the bed you’ll get is a double for maximum comfort, that’s what I appreciate the most.
Thank you for your kind review - pleased that you were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation!
The accommodation is close to the university, however, hearing people across the road having house parties is not fun.
Thanks for your review
As expected. Provides a nice wholesome experience to living on campus.
Glad you are enjoying the experience, thanks for the review!
Excellent place and facilities...its home away from home
I am glad you are enjoying your stay. Thanks for the review :)
Till now, I am very satisfied with my accommodation and my flatmates are great as well. The only problem that we sometimes have, is the internet. Sometimes the internet is so slow.
Thanks for your review
I think it’s a little bit expensive, I understand the cost of living, but you’re meant to be for students. I think the kitchens could have something a little extra to encourage socialisation of flatmates. There’s no toaster. For how much I’m paying I want a toaster.
Thanks for your review
The Wi-Fi is not very well. The soundproofing in the room is not very good
Thanks for your review
The heathfield managers are great. They check-in on students regular and provide support when needed. Being able to live right on campus also brings to much ease. I’m able to move easily to my classes in the shortest period of time.
Glad you are enjoying your stay at Heathfield, thanks for your review
Lots of fire alarms but good overall
Thanks for your review
A nice accomodation for a short period (especially for exchange student), well situated, very good customer services & other similar issues (social spaces, wifi, social experience etc.)... But indecently too expensive for what it is.
Thank you for submitting a review. Our prices include all utility costs, University WiFi, and 24/7 staff cover.
Staying at Heathfield was a great experience, whenever I faced some issue staff was quick to respondo and fix it
I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Heathfield and staff were always on hand to carry out repairs. :)
Get ready for the lowdown on my amazing time at Heathfield student accommodation in Dundee. It was an absolute game-changer! Living there was a blast—I met incredible people from around the world, like my awesome flatmates from Nigeria and South Africa. We had a cultural feast in our own flat, sharing stories and trying delicious dishes. Plus, the place was spotless, thanks to their top-notch cleanliness. The Sanctuary Students office was always there to save the day when needed. And let's not forget the epic parties and fantastic events—they kept the excitement going. Heathfield truly made my university experience unforgettable. :)
I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the events, it was good to see so many students getting involved :)
Heathfield is home. I lived my life here!
I am glad you were made to feel at home :)
Amazing property, great amenities and location is the most suitable for students!
Glad to hear you thought Heathfield was amazing :)
Great location with all required amenities and good social experience and outstanding customer services.
Thank you for your review !
I had a good time. But because of no elevator had lot of trouble to move in and out and created a lot of inconvenience. No social spaces made me feel completely isolated.
Thank you for your review. The large kitchen and lounge area in each flat provides flatmates a social space, we are sorry that the lack of a common room made you feel isolated.
Thank you Sanctuary Student Staff of Heathfield Residence. Such a nice place and wonderful stay. Staff was so wonderful, supportive and kind to me always. Special thanks to TIM for taking care of us. I will always miss this place and sweet memories I made will always stay in my heart.
thank you for your kind review!
My experience was okay, I loved how close I was to school. I also felt safe at all times.
thank you for your review!
i have been living in Heathfield since last September 2022 and I must say its an ideal place to live and the daily management works are carried out with utmost care and they never disturb the students unnecessary
Thank you for your review!
It was really good. You have access to each part of university just by a minute walking. The internet connection was really fast. Hanging out with roommates depends on your rommate, how much they are introverted and interested in going out , but still most of them are in to hang out. The services were also good. The person who was responsible for checking the building was on time and polite. The alarming system was also working properly. There is a lot of space in kitchen that you can use for cooking, chilling out and having a party if you want. The hygiene of the whole building was also noticeable. 99% of the cases it was spotless.
Thank you for your review!
It was good for the first year, to build social connections. But the room was so dark. No washing machine in the property. White goods were falling apart, replaced, and still not the best. Noisy. But in the very campus.
thank you for your review. We are sorry that you found the accommodation dark. Whilst there are not washing machines in each flat, Heathfield has a purpose built laundry on site and more machines are being added this summer.
The accommodation came to me at a very good time, I didn’t need to look for a guarantor or reference to move in. All the facilities worked well, I didn’t suffer the cold new students suffers because the heater was always working. I recommend heathfield for anyone coming for, I settled in quickly and had amazing flatmates. I give the accommodation a five start….
Thank you for your review and recommendation!
My time at Heathfield was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of a prime location, remarkable facilities, a supportive staff, and a vibrant community made it an ideal choice for any student seeking a memorable and enriching living experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home during their academic journey at University of Dundee
Thank you for your lovely review , we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Heathfield!
I enjoyed my stay at the college campus. Well it is expensive when compared to staying outside campus, however the service given is exceptional good. The rooms are ensuite bathrooms and the common area with kitchen is shared. There was plenty of space to store things in kitchen as well as in rooms. There is Wi-Fi service everywhere around the campus, closer to class and library, routine checks conducted of the premises, walkable location to groceries and city centre, one call away for any kind of help required and most important of feeling save around. I enjoyed having company of other students and never felt alone. The campus and the buildings were kept clean every time and staffs working here are very helpful. There were several activities conducted by the res-life team which was a break from hectic studies. I enjoyed my stay at Heathfield which was worth of every penny spent.
Thank you for your review and comments in relation to your stay at Heathfield including the facilities, staff, cleanliness, safety and value for money. It makes our jobs so worthwhile to read these positive comments about our services - thank you !
Overall, I must say that I had an extremely poor experience staying at Heathfield for last 8 months. Too expensive for what we get. Even the DUSA shops which are meant to be subsided for students are expensive. We have faced multiple time noise issues in our flat during quiet hours and the security was of no help . The mattress are the worst in the world I must say. I have had complained multiple times and was directed to disability services. We are not disable and the university must understand that. You cannot sleep properly, after a few weeks of usage, started getting backache, neck pain and improper sleep. It seems like I have not slept properly for last 8 months and another 1 month to survive. I can write further, but that would be waste of time. For 707 £ / month, this is far from being satisfactory. Interested only in timely payments but not service. I will never recommend anyone to stay in Heathfield for the money students pay. The university must compensate for the agony.
Thank you for your review. The beds and mattresses supplied are typical for most student accommodation and we are sorry that experienced discomfort. Our staff are available 24/7 to assist with noise issues, and it is disappointing that you feel we have not been of help when you have contacted us.
Very bad place to stay. I never recommended this Heathfeild accommodation, in University campus. Total loss of money
We are sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your stay at Heathfield. If there are specific areas of the accommodation that you feel we can improve on , please pop into the office to discuss. Many thanks
In general, everything is good. The only drawback is that there are no places to hang out in the yard except a couple of benches
Thank you for your review. We will take on board your comments regarding external space and facilities.
Its my first year in university of dundee, but it is not good experience. When i live in heathfield, accommodation officer check the condition of room frequently. It influence my roommates and me lives. Some of office treat us extremely badly. Also lots of my firends from other flats said they meet same situation frequently. Even one time one of accommodation officer visit their room and open the door of my friend without prior warning
Hi there! Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are sorry you did not enjoy your experience of Heathfield. We have been working hard to improve the communication to our residents with regards to flat visits for repairs maintenance and compliance checks.
I lived there in from Sep 2018- May 2019. Everything was alright except the kitchen dirtiness which I think would depend on the flatmates. But my experience was crappy, I had to tolerate sticking with dirty flatmates for many months. The online payment is extremely bad. They show you the wrong amount which is more than what you really need to pay. I had to deal with the Bank again because of that. Even if you email them about it, they won't reply you for weeks. Perhaps, they don't know how to solve that! It is a scam. GO SEARCH FOR OTHER ACCOMMODATION!!

Very clean and liked the ensuite + self catering option provided.
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students!
Heathfield is very expensive and I only chose it as I had no other option. But I have managed to make the most of it. It is in a very convinient location on campus and has plenty of shops nearby.
Hi, thanks for your review, we are sorry that you felt that Heathfield was expensive. The rent includes all utility bills, University of Dundee Wi Fi and network connections along with 24/7 staff for support.

top class halls. Modern and good location
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students! Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the location and modern facilities!
The halls at Heathfield aren't the cheapest available but you certainly get what you pay for, on arrival everything was clean and in good condition. It is set only 2 minutes walk from the union building and is right next to the gym and some major lecture theaters.
Many thanks for your review!
I am absolutely shocked at the price of the rent. I've had a call from a family member worried. The added stress of worrying about having a roof over your head when your a new student is awful. I said there must be a mistake, the fee is more than my homes rent! Why so extortionate? Why the lack of funding? Concentrating on studying is the only thing that should be on his mind. Outrageous. Can someone explain this to me?
The rent for student halls includes all utility bills, high speed internet access via University of Dundee , 24/7 support staff , an on site caretaker and common area cleaning.
Perfect location for a Student at The University of Dundee. Right in the centre of the campus, next to all lecture buildings, gym and near all the union facilities
Thanks for your review !
My time there was enjoyable at first and a great opportunity ti meet new friends and settle into university life. The management were very strict but i felt secure at night. Over all experience was good, size of rooms are very basic but good enough with your own toilet. The common areas are very basic but able to lock everything.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are glad you felt safe at night with the 24/7 staffing available.
Fantastic location. A bit pricey, but worth it for how close you are to everything. Union, shop and uni buildings are 2- 5 minute walks away and right next to the gym
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are pleased you enjoyed the central location of Heathfield. The rent includes all utility bills, access to the University wi fi and network connections and 24/7 staff availability for support.
Great halls, had one bad run-in with management, quite expensive.

Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Heathfield!
Heathfield halls have been a great place to spend my first year at Dundee University. I have made many friends while living and been able to get a feel for independent living without extra worries about electricity, heating or wifi bills. One thing I would say that would improve Heathfield would be that it would be extremely beneficial if the Heathfield car park could be opened up for the use of residents throughout term time, there is not a lot of parking available on campus and this would allow residents to not have to park elsewhere in Dundee. Overall, Heathfield has been very good and I have enjoyed staying there greatly.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Heathfield and note your comment regarding parking
very good location and good size however our fridge broke and our food went mouldy and we had to tell the management 4 times and our tap is making loud noises and they have come and checked it and agreed they need to get someone out to fix it, but haven't. this had been going on for 3 months. bed rooms are nice and beds comfy, we are meant to have a cupboard however it is locked therefore we cant use it
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are sorry to hear that you experienced delays with maintenance repairs. It is our aim to fix repairs as quickly as possible.
Amazing!! made my student experience.
