My overall experience at Dundee University has been overwhelmingly positive. The university encourages creativity and participation, has an incredible selection of exciting module options and a dedicated selection of staff and students striving to make it enjoyable and accommodating for all. Dundee as a city is growing in benefits thanks to investment into the area, despite still missing decent theatres and looking a tad grotty the city is bursting with a feverish excitement for the future that infects all residents.

Dundee has a vast range of facilities all accessible to students and staff. The University is also willing to take on student suggestions and act upon them, such as the Library's Creative Centre which boasts and impressive array of creative materials (including 3D printers!) for student and staff enjoyment.

Dundee really pushes its help schemes. I have yet to need any of them but I know that they are there is I ever do, and I trust them to help. Feedback is always positively constructive and easy to understand.

Dundee Student Union endeavours to be accessible and accommodating to all, with success. There are a number of facilities and it is never empty.

Yes, everywhere you would need to is accessible within a short walk. Dundee is by no means a bustling city so has slim pickings in terms of good, diverse entertainment .

Dundee has an exceptional array of societies and sporting teams, with a high level of encouragement to set up your own if unable to find the one right for you.

Most: All lectures I have met thus far are incredibly passionate and willing to go beyond their standard teaching role for students, they are approachable and create excitement over the courses. Being in tutorial groups or smaller classes helps to push this further and allows an exploration of the subject studied before being tasked with essays. Least: Little physical exploration is made in classes, with teachers mostly taking over to express their views rather than allowing the students to develop the skills required prior to being graded on said skills. This is not always the case, but mainly so.

Dundee has a Careers Centre and talks from industry experts every month. Students in later years are given more priority for internship and transferable skill tutoring.

The quality of teaching has been very high and I feel supported in my academic interests. Teaching staff are always on hand to help if you have any questions or queries. Dundee is a friendly and welcoming city in general and it's not easy to be lonely here. If you go out and try new things, you'll quickly start to recognise some of the faces you walk past on the street. It won't feel like a city full of strangers for long! While it's relatively quick and easy to find friends though, you might find the Union is a bit lacking when it comes to student experience. More could, and should, be done to make it a comfortable and relaxing place for students. The only amusements we have are a couple of snooker tables which seem to be gradually disappearing. The Union could be doing with creating a new area for students to just chill and hang out in.

Most lecturers respond to emails impeccably quickly if you have any questions that need answering. Generally, I cannot fault any lecturers or classes at all. I have found my course a lot of fun and extremely enjoyable. If I have ever been disappointed, it is due to a lack of resources and module choices, which has sadly occurred due to the University's lack of funding in the Humanities department.

I didn't stay in Halls for long as I opted to return home due to complications caused by Covid. However, there was always someone on hand to fix anything that was wrong with the flat and it was clear that safety was a top priority. Your time in Halls probably won't be your favourite part of uni life, as you'll make more friends through your course and the societies you join, but I couldn't fault the residence I stayed in. The washing machines were Circuit Laundry though, and Circuit Laundry will always be Circuit Laundry.
