Aberdeen is a beautiful city with lots of opportunities, but Hillhead needs to be worked on

It’s a nice campus with modern & old buildings. The science hub is extremely useful! The sir Duncan rice library is great! There’s plenty of clubs & societies to join.
Better support from staff
More events like the fair.

I love studying at Aberdeen! it’s an amazing experience for me especially because I live four hours away. It gets me away from home and gives me a real opportunity to live myself and study my dream. It also allows me to make new friends and create new relationships with people. The University could be improved with mental health support, I struggle with depression and they don’t help with it at all, sometimes I can’t even move from my bed etc, and all they care about is my attendance.
The most disappointing experience of my life. I felt utterly ripped off. I thought this University was supposed to be "prestigious" but the staff did nothing to portray this. I do not know about other degrees but the quality of "teaching" for Zoology is utterly shocking. It is evident the teaching staff just do not care and do not like their jobs- they only want your tuition fees. Total lack of support and facilities, your fellow students are not friendly at all and are rather stuck up. For accommodation you get tiny box rooms which was just depressing, especially when they insisted on online classes (but for still the same amount of tuition fees). I was not going to torture myself with this experience for three years. In summary, utter dump of a city, overpriced and terrible tutors who are selected for diversity and not qualifications. Avoid at all costs. "Catering" sucked too. P.S. if you're doing Biological Sciences, avoid selecting modules from a certain "Cath Dennis", she is honestly the worst, most miserable, uncaring tutor I've ever had and you will be teaching yourself the module. Utterly useless and of course their klik of lecturers will make excuses for her and blame you. ***AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Teaching has been the best it can be over the pandemic however I would still say that there are certain aspects of the course such as some on ward teaching and anatomy teaching that I feel should’ve taken priority in teaching and there is space for distancing in the labs if things were maybe more organised. Apart form that I have enjoyed this year and appreciate the ajustements to assessments to accommodate people’s needs as a result of COVID related problems

Best is living with your freinds and becoming a family and learning new things everyday from the people around me.
I feel like all lectures must be recorded especially when people can’t make it due to illness
Communal areas are not clean very often makes people not want to to stay at the accom.
