I landed here on 1st of September, and attended my welcome week. Trust me I haven't felt homesick then. I met so many people there, so many different communities trying there best to help us out. And there were frequent campus tours, thanks to them or else I would have been lost already. Also, my flat's oven wasn't working which was replaced by the reslife team with 25 minutes. Also, Wifi here is 24/7 and works too well for me. And, here is a Career support team which not only guides you on your CV but also helps you with mock interviews. It is just like a life jacket for us.

University of Dundee is a great University to study at. It has a great student union and a great range of help for students, such as free counselling, carters advice and essay help.
Overall, I am pleased with the services rendered and opportunities provided. Though it may not be as grand as oxford/cambridge. It still had its own charm to it.
Good few problems llllllllllllllll
UOD is a great university in all aspects
the only thing I would complain about is the staff- uncoordinated and do not communicate with each other, some have too much pride and speak down to students asking questions, others dismissed my medicated mental health as a reason to become a remote student (which I have now, and I am much happier- averaging 70% across the semester, which just goes to show…)
Student oriented University. Faculty is good and approachable. Library is excellent.
Good university, good facilities, students union gone down hill quite drastically recently tho
My four years at Dundee were frankly dreadful, for my education at least. The uni is plagued by too many people in higher offices not doing anything to improve individual students - or even the university’s - position or wellbeing. In fact the uni has been so badly mismanaged it is facing bankruptcy unless it sheds countless jobs and a large number of courses. My course was a victim of both previous students not leaving good feedback about individual modules and the disciplines overall lack of ability to keep pace with changes in industry, a massive issue when it is Computing which is rapidly evolving (though some staff do make a good effort to keep their modules up to date). The student union (DUSA) may have won awards for best student experience, but this is solely for the nightlife it had provided pre-Covid. It saw itself exclusively as a nightclub and offered little to no support for students. Now it has stopped club nights, it still shows no interest in supporting students.
University in great location and offers great services. Staff always willing to help and the campus is definitely one of the best.
Fantastic internet throughout campus and accomadation, excellent libary facilities
Calm cuz i like the peice and wuite but ngl have met some questionable people
The university has mishandled their approach to teaching and exams during the pandemic.
Despite a long hard year of online study and no face to face classes, the university did let the main library stay open later for those with no access to needed resources. However, the DJCAD was closed most of the year making it difficult for students to use the DJCAD library and the art shop with no supplies in order to complete work.
Uni has been amazing, it’s so easy to make friends in the environment with all the events on.
Great university to study Biology, good teaching and facilities are nice. Most of the campus is within walking distance. I made some amazing friends and the student union offers lots of events.
very good university, good lecturers and staff.
No problems. Although because of COVID I wasn’t able to experience everything my university has to offer.
The staff are great and extremely friendly, you’ll love going here
Dundee is a great place to live and study even with covid restrictions !
The staff are always really helpful and quick to respond. Ian the property manager is easy to contact and has been a great help with any issues I've faced. The location is what made me choose Peterson Hall and I'll miss the convenience of it. Great place to stay with friends.
Good university with many things to do
High fee, bad experience, do not care about students. Bad racism report. Office filled with white people making decisions for others
I really enjoyed studying at the University of Dundee!
The university is all-round really good.
The best university for student experince
Not really hard much on campus time last semester due to covid so haven’t really experienced everything the campus offers.
I got to experience the University before and during covid. Beforehand it was good, difficult to find a seat in the library but a generally a good atmosphere and the union was a good night out. After covid obviously a lot of the uni was closed and I was only on campus to attend labs which I must say my lecturers worked hard to ensure we got back and could learn what we needed to. Though I know others were stuck at home and only working online and it was not the best experience. Overall I think the University is a decent place to be but that improvements could be made to online learning if it is to be somewhat long term.
everyone is very helpful and friendly
Great for student experience and social side
I feel like there is not much support generally. It's a good university in terms of the academic side but the student support is not great.
Unfortunately, due to covid, i can not really speak on many of these since everything was online and I couldnt actually use the campus, but what i know was great
Due to covid I've had very little in person learning although what I have had I have enjoyed and I am looking forward to my second year of studies.
Great university and location for students, everything is within walking distance, there is lots to do in dundee ! A lovely place to be a student
Fantastic university and brilliant campus in Dundee.
Can’t say that I have experienced that much of the university due to covid.
Although having studied throughout a pandemic with distanced learning, the city is decent with many opportunities to explore Scotland. In addition, the uni is very supportive of any concerns student might have.
it’s a great university. due to the large volume of students it’s harder to ensure good standards across the board but overall 8/10
Spent 5 years in this uni and enjoyed my time here a lot!
Dundee is full of places to visit and I really enjoy my course here. I am looking forward to 3rd year.
Very good student Union for nightlife and daytime social engagements
Nice place to study. It would be good if
Been absolutely satisfied with the University in general.
I just finished my first year at the University of Dundee but did most of my classes online. During the first semester we had some on campus classes, the campus in general is very neat and everything can be reached by foot. The Student Union and the Careers Service seemed very active, even during covid, but I do not have a comparison to last year. The wifi is very fast and worked in all the buildings I had classes in. There is a huge amount of societies and clubs at the University of Dundee but due to covid, most of them where not really active this year so I cannot judge their performance.
Haven’t been able to go in person all year, but still have had a good experience so far
Very good campus, especially great when lockdown isn’t happening
It is really nice place to live. Located in good place and environment is good as well
except for covid everything is great
The University of Dundee has a great way of teaching, as you can learn a lot without stressing too much. Furthermore, it offers a lot of opportunities to develop your degree and knowledge. On the other hand, Dundee is an amazing city for students, as everything is very close. Moreover, as there are two universities, it’s a really good place to be a student. Likewise, you’ll meet a lot of people and there is always a plan to do.
Overall I think my time in uni for first year has been interesting. The pandemic has definitely placed a giant stone in front of students, not being able to give us a normal experince. Although I felt like the uni tried there hardest to allow student to work hard and support student as well as providing a social uni life for them.
A good university with a great range of co-curricular clubs and societies.
Dundee University is a very friendly place that I enjoy studying at. The facilities at the Union are a great place to socialise. The library is a bright and open place that offers many floors where you can study!
Enjoying my time at Dundee University, however have had issues over the last two years regarding ambiguity with teachings, I have been dealing with it well but am aware of classmates who have found it confusing.
The student support isnt great except the funding services
Great and accessible facilities. Close to city centre and only walking distance from other attractions.
Great uni overall and great support in all aspects
As COVID has wrecked 2nd year of my studies, I will base my experience on 1st year. The University of Dundee is top tier with the range of things it’s offers such as counselling, night club, services (I.e. careers service, financial serves, etc.), sports opportunities, societies. Each location is of the utmost quality
It is a good university that has loads of societies so there is something for everyone
You can get all u want in the campus, such as premier, cafes, pub. The uni is near to the city centre, which is quite convenient. They are all in walkable distance.
Really welcoming place with a good student life.
Dundee is great, it really is. Everything is in one place and the uni is really nice and everyone is so helpful!
Due to COVID haven't been able to use many of these resources.
I had low expectations, however it has been surprisingly pleasant. The facilities and laboratories are great as well as the atmosphere as a whole. The main downside is the quality of teaching, even thought the teachers are experienced in their field the teaching style is not very effective as there are no lectures, they only provide notes which we have to learn on our and in class we revise questions, this obviously varies depending on the course you are partaking.
A lovely university with great students and staff.
Great uni, welcoming feel and all very central!
Has gone downhill from where it was ten years ago. Was a competitive redbrick but the quality and breadth of its courses is now approaching that of a polytech. Some fields have fared worse than others. The Humanities in particular have fallen off a cliff, there's very few staff and almost zero choice in modules. As for the university itself, the Union is very good, but it's a typical city campus university, a series of grey buildings lacking any soul or character. A grey uni in a grey town.
It is easy for students to graduate
There’s a lot of support for students who need it and staff are always friendly and supportive so you’re never alone. Plenty of societies to get involved in an amazing social environment and make plenty of friends. For those interested in the night life, it’s super cheap and that all you need to know.
Best for International Students..
Excellent all round nightlife and daylife, also provides good support and it’s also really cheap
University is nice but I feel professor are bit partial and biased towards the student who goes to give gifts and who are little extrovert and people who are little introvert suffers and student can feel the difference but have nowhere to raise the concern. Even the feedbacks which they give us to fill is not anonymous as professor recognizes the handwriting and they don't treat the student fairly later its more common in the master programme of dentistry.
I’ve absolutely loved my time here at the university.
Can't even describe the glowing reports I get from everyone I hear. Definitely the most up and coming University anywhere around!
Came from a university in Wales to do masters and it doesn't compare the Dundee. The postgraduate reception helped which was in dusa to meet other postgrads. Undeniablely great place
I loved my university experience here, there is always so much to do and a great support system for students. DUSA is a great night out, and also helped me from academics, welfare and setting up a society!
I had the best 4 years of my life here! Everyone is super friendly and helpful, the facilities are great and everything is 2 seconds away!
Definitely the best Uni I’ve visited! Facilities top class and staff are so helpful.
Campus is nice and compact with a real community feeling ❤️
Brilliant University campus and facilities
Great staff lovely city nice people the library is very good
Amazing university with excellent courses, student life and a fantastic, up and coming city.
Couldn’t have asked for a better uni experience, 10/10
Great university. Can’t get better
Love living around campus, love working in the student union. There’s always something going on. I’ve only been away for summer 2 months and I wish I was back at uni
An amazing University that really cares about its students.
Union is class, 3 nights a week and still always somehow keeping it fresh. Always support for anything you need and I mean anything. Wifi has just been updated for outside use and is better than ever
Really enjoy studying at Dundee. It’s a great place to make genuine friends and get a great education.
The University of Dundee has been so amazing this year. I was made to feel so welcome by everyone, other students and staff, that Dundee now feels like home, even though I’ve only lived there 9 months. The university has excellent teachers and state of the art facilities, and the union is excellent, as are the many Societies!
So far I’ve made so many friends and had the time of my life. I love my course and the campus and am looking forward to the next 3 years.
Great uni great city would recommend to anyone living cost is non existent people are wonderful you can’t loose
Incredibly supportive and brilliant university in many ways. Made the right decision choosing the University of Dundee over the Uni. of Glasgow and Edinburgh as I do not feel I would have received the same level of support. Dundee uni puts the needs, safety and well-being of its students before anything else. The teaching is fantastic, the nightlife is great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or University
Would recommend Dundee to anyone!
I am so so happy i decided to dundee uni, love that its a student city
The staff were fantastic, they take the time to get to know you wether you see them once in 4 years or every day.
Great university and have loved the past 3 years of study there looking forward to doing my masters degree with them.
Dundee university is a great place to go to uni!
Dundee university is a great place to go to uni!
I am having the best time at this university, freshers week was amazing and the nightlife is great for any young student. I am also enthralled by my biomedical sciences course.
The university immediately made me feel welcome. And have always cared more about the students than their work. Also the union is amazing, is reasonably priced and has one if not the best nightclubs in dundee
Wifi never works and careers is s*** no help
Absolutely brilliant, such a great place
