My stay at the Old Mill was cut short by Covid, but it was ideal for me as a research student at the University of St Andrews. Dundee is a bustling, lively city with tonnes of things to do and excellent transport links to anywhere in Scotland and the rest of the UK by bus and rail. The Old Mill itself is in the centre of town beside all the main Dundee university buildings and is really well kept. The staff are AMAZING and treat their tenants extremely well, better than any porters or wardens I've had in any University run halls. While the stair case up to the upper floor flats are a bit of a killer, the flats themselves are spacious, full of storage spaces and have really lovely windows that look out over Dundee. Unfortunately, I never got to enjoy any of the Old Mill's wider social facilities due to Covid, but I am sure in brighter times they would have been a real delight and really added to its community atmosphere. I would 100% recommend others to live in Dundee's Old Mill!

Had been in Old Mill since end of October 2021.Location wise very good .Rent is also reasonable even if not on the moderate side .However the current deputed manager at the site is very rude and aggressive.Have minimum dignity for the students and his communications appears to be as if he is dealing with asylum seakers or prisoners and not with a tenant who has entered the agreement in a same capacity.Have minimum legal sense but tries to impose himself legally through his immatured usage of legal words /terms without knowing the consequences of same. Encourages students to consume food products and drinks beyond best before dates printed on the product, by providing them free in the name of charity- supplied and if you question him , be ready to face repurcussions from him in some way or the other. I am an Advocate by profession over a decade and have taken out time to study hence aware of the laws.

Okay accomodation, a bit on the pricey side for what is offered, but the new management is trying their best. They have a weird relationship with masks, as they demand everyone to wear them - which is cool - but then don't wear them themselves during inspections. Huh.
