HI , Thanks for your review.
Do not accept a place here Too far from all the buzz of campus Absolutely nothing going on Spent a fortune on taxis- union bus not very reliable Was just so depressing- not a place for first year students trying to establish friendships and social life Shops miles away , whereas if ur on campus there is a shop on site plus several shops nearby and the union is always good for a meal- stuck out in west park there is none of that Can’t believe the uni just let u vegetate out there and don’t put a single thing on to make u feel included Sort it out dundee
Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry you felt that West Park was too far from the buzz of campus for you. The University's ResLife team and the accommodation staff are working on engagement with all residents for support and inclusion
Before moving to west park the reviews made it appear terrible. However I found it far from it! Although basic, the rooms & kitchen areas are very clean upon arrival and of decent size too. Although it's a good 25 minute walk to campus, west park is based in the nicest area of Dundee. In the west end there are some truly amazing buildings, and you are right next to the magdalen green, as well as the botanical gardens. Also for someone like me who just loves to put in earphones and go for a good stroll, this walk is perfect! And as for the social life in my opinion it was far more exciting than that of the campus halls- it has its own little community. In fact I knew of several people who would trek all the way up here for pres! I met the most amazing people here and made memories that I'll never ever forget. I know next year I'll miss West Park and I'm so glad I spent my first year there and I urge anyone reading these reviews to know that it's really not as bad as people make it out.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay are West Park and the community spirit that you and your fellow residents created! Glad to hear that you took advantage of the surrounding area and enjoyed your commute into Uni! Thanks again for your review - this will be a great help to other residents.
West park was an experience within itself great fun a little removed from Dundee but within the west end so further removed from true scumdee so really a great time
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you enjoyed the experience of living at West Park and in the picturesque west end of the city
Location is terrible, cba going to lectures cause it took half an hour to walk to, nearest shop is 15 min walk away absolute nightmare, hard time socialising as nobody ever came to flat parties as its so far away from campus. The wifi was the only good thing
Hi, thanks for your review, so are sorry that you felt West Park location was terrible. Situated between the main campus and Ninewells in the quieter west end of the city, it is on a main bus route. Glad you enjoyed the University of Dundee's high speed internet which is included in the rent.
West park flats are a nice place to spend first year, they’re cheaper that the other halls of residence but you do sacrifice location a little as they’re about a 20 minute walk from the campus
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students!
Massive money sink for not very much value given the distance away from the uni. also getting things repaired can take weeks.
Hi, thanks for your review, we are sorry that you did not have a great experience living at West Park. We do aim to get repairs completed within a reasonable timescale.
If you live at West Park, be prepared to have those that live on campus look at you in disgust and don't ever expect them to come visit or come to one of your parties. Also be prepared for a 20 minute walk to uni in the morning, 30 if you're hungover. However, the social life is bangin' and always expect pre drinks to be going on somewhere. Tip: do not go to the villas, you will literally live in a dungeon. Oh, and don't ever expect a working washing machine.
Hi, thanks for your review. The laundry facilities for both West Park Flats and West Park Villas have now been upgraded and you can view availability on the circuit view app. They are also now coinless so there is less breakdowns than with the previous machines and both laundries are avaiable to residents.
Miles out, far too expensive to enjoy properly, nice rooms though and decent social space.
Hi, thanks for your review. West Park is approx 2km from both the main campus and Ninewells campus and on a regular bus service route! We are pleased you enjoyed the rooms and social space
It's too far away especially when doing food shopping. Nice views along Perth Road. However for the distance it is away from uni, it's way too expensive!
Hi - thanks for your review - sorry you feel it is too expensive for the location between the main and Ninewells campus
It's a great place to live, it's just far too far away from everything so I've probably spent the difference in rent from West Park and Belmont in taxi fairs to take me places or on nights out when you're too late for the bus.
HI - thanks for your review, I am sorry that you felt it was too far away from the main campus.
West Park is on the outskirts of the University but it's a calm place and the morning walks aren't too bad
thank you for your review!
Lovely accommodation, but 15 minutes from campus is a bit annoying, as well as inconvenience to go shopping! Saves money on buses by walking to Ninewells on the morning (~30 mins)
Thank you for your review!
Halls have a community feel, although the distance is further than other halls.
Thank you for your review
West Park Flats are really nice, well managed, and good for socialising!
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 with us!
Honestly, it's too far away from anything. It's a 15 minute walk from the nearest shop. The bus the university then put on, which is only at night for the union, is also terrible and you never know how often it's running if even at all. You get absolutely no mobile network signal on my flat and therefore depend on the wifi they provide. But when that isn't working, which is happened a few times, your phone is useless while inside. For the flats there is no common space for all of us and because we are so far away it is difficult to meet people.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are sorry you found West Park's location was not suitable for you. Some residents prefer the location, situated between the main campus and ninewells in the leafy West End. The University has upgraded the WiFi in the residences and we have refurbished the common room and a study zone in the Villas which all residents at West Park now have access to.
Avoid living here at all costs. Too far away from everything, at least a 15 minute walk to the nearest shop. Always have to walk everywhere or get a taxi because the busses are so infrequent. The money you end up spending on various taxis everywhere you may as well have paid the extra to stay in heathfield.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay at west park. Buses run frequently past West Park to Ninewells Hospital or into the City Centre. xploredundee.com Other bus services are available via Blackness road if you walk up West Park Road.
It may be a 15 minute walk to class in the morning but it is worth it. Westpark is a community! Plus theres a free night bus to take you home when you're bevied
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at West Park!
