Enjoyed the overall society and environment
Lovely university with lots of activities
It’s good, all the services are good
The teaching methods are really good.
Poor student union. Excellent campus beautiful historic buildings and lovely library facility.
Well, it's a uni. Maybe if it were in some other *sunny* place it would make it more bearable, but as it is, it's just a uni.
10/10 experience, literally leaving against my will
I have had a great time studying here.
This campus very safety, and when the weather nice looks beautiful
Its a great experience to study over here. The university is way Eco friendly and the student support system helped me a lot.
All good with studies and professors
Campus is nice. Mix of older building like King's College and newer uglier ones like the MacRobert. SU has no licensed bar but has good coffee and spaces to work/meet etc.
Great experience, interesting and helpful
Excellence services so far with kayley and Tom been helpful aswell
Good place for international students
The campus and the union are great and have a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, the careers service is also excellent and are great help to anyone feeling a bit lost.
I love aberdeen university, I have enjoyed it here immensely
Good university,but needed upgrade campus.
It’s been an amazing 4 yours at Aberdeen
Love the uni and the staff in a brilliant location and everyone has been very welcoming
I love the University and it's been a wonderful experience learning within the campus environment
Aberdeen University is ok. The student union however, does not represent the students.
When I started, I wasn't sure about my career path, but thanks to my course, I've discovered a passion for translation. The supportive environment and engaging curriculum have helped me clarify my goals and inspired me to pursue a career in this field.
The actual Student Union building is pretty bad. It is so small, and considering the space there is lots you can see they have done to make it nice....but still. It's somehwere you go in between classes or to get a quick coffee or bite to eat, I wouldn't necessarily say it's an exciting environment people actively seek out.
All is good, I just haven't had experience with the career services or the student union
Haven’t booked any apts for with Career Service however they always have presence at Freshers/Refreshers Fayre and seem lovely and helpful.
As a student who came to the university in the middle of semester, I did not get a comprehensive guide specially about careers service.
Really enjoyed my school, especially my teachers, and ran into a lot of my very favourite teachers.
Great university with lot of learning opportunities
great university and amazing campus lovely people
Good facilities at the accomodation.
10/10 would redo first year again
All round great experience. Amazing social aspect.
Decent university but there's no sense of community UT feels like nothing is bringing the students together
Campus is so pretty, the method of teaching works well, no complaints
Such a good uni I have really enjoyed
great and helpful. Support is there when needed.
Great campus facilities and staff
Fantastic place to learn with a historical, magical feel to the campus
One of the best in UK and recommend to any student.
Love the amount of societies and support
Great accommodation! Lovely staff, and always feel safe.
good uni art history department is great love my course
I love the accommodation very much, staffs here are so nice and patient, thanks for Stacey’s helping me. I already extended the next year tenancy.
As a student, I believe that having access to work opportunities not only provides valuable practical experience but also helps to alleviate financial burdens and enhance overall academic and personal development. However, I have observed that there seems to be a scarcity of work opportunities tailored specifically for students within the university. This includes part-time job openings, internships, research assistant positions, and other forms of employment that would enable students to gain valuable skills and experience while studying.
Excellent University experience and very good learning atmosphere and safe place to create your life here!
I think it's very happy for me to meet this apartment and their student team. aberdeen is a very beautiful city.

The staff at uni are rubbish i love my staff at my uni accommodation and they help me with mental health when the uni are ****! Thank you
Im quite happy with my experience.
I have been staying at FS Studios for 6 months now and the service here is very good along with the infrastructure. My classmates and I really enjoy relaxing through a movie in the cinema room on weekends. All in all, it is basically very good and I love it here.
The environment is very good, the geographical location is very good, downstairs is the Chinese Super League, beautiful scenery.
I spent my happiest days in this apartment, coming to the UK as an international student to start studying and living, and the receptionist Zhanna gave me great help. All aspects of the apartment support work is excellent. Cheap price and fast service.
Love it. Staff is great. Safe and convenient. Easy to reach out for help. Clean and beautiful place. Great coursework to improve my critical thinking.
It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great! It's clean, it's great!

The University of Aberdeen provides an exceptional academic environment, fostering student success through a well-organized orientation week and supportive faculty. Teachers are knowledgeable and approachable, while classmates create a positive and inclusive atmosphere. Together, they ensure a rewarding university experience, setting students up for success in their academic and personal endeavors. And Scotland especially Aberdeen is generally a safe place, also the living cost here is affordable. Overall, I highly recommend it.
campus and teaching is good,but the food in campus is not very good,less choice.
Perfect good wonderful amazing
Kevin is the best , new equipment,I love club room most
Really great, worth a price really enjoyable
I love the University of Aberdeen and I am absolutely satisfied with my choice. The lecturers are great and facilities on campus (and off campus if I ever need help online) are brilliant. The library is huge, spacious and modern - filled with all the resources you need to pass your courses. Furthermore, they’re always hosting great events to help with career development. I do really enjoy my course and love the University. I have no regrets about choosing the University of Aberdeen. 10/10!
This place is perfect for everything

the University of Aberdeen has a lovely and picturesque campus with many clubs, societies, and subjects to be a part of.
The campus is beautiful. The professors are also very nice and helpful.
All good , I really like it, and I feel comfortable over here
Everyone is nice and everything is good
very good and convenient. I got to watch football matches for free in the best seats in the stadium.
My stay at Don Street House has been phenomenal. Perfect location in relation to campus, church, work, supermarket, bus stop, city park, pharmacy. Room cleanliness top-notch and beautiful environment. My rating of Don Street House on a scale of 1-10 is 9.5
Good stay and having staying warm with good attendance
The university is great, I especially love the older buildings as they look stunning. The course I'm on is also great.
Good uni for law but too harsh on students when it comes to taking in consideration of the impacts of external factors on academic performance
good uni esp for law! tutorials are very interesting too just too harsh on law students and less considerate of their mental health and their extenuating circumstances when it comes to missing classes and extension requests for essays.
The University of Aberdeen has a long history and culture, a beautiful ecological campus environment, and a strong faculty. I am very proud to study in such a university
I think this apartment is very good, located between the school and the city center, both sides are very convenient, and there are also various basic facilities such as a gym and laundry room. In addition, the residents in P P are very friendly and very worth checking in
Great university in a great location
Good enough for what it is. Engineering building could be better considering the level it’s at
comfortable and make more friends in university
The University is great. Has a lot of courses to offer and is friendly to the students.
Really nice accommodation I really like it
Best place to be in.I love The bingo times - Lindsay is the best bingo host🩷
Very good university, couldn't expect much more really.
