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!!

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
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
