I love the facilities around the university, the staff are friendly and helpful. The campus is very cozy and the accessibility is good. The location is perfect for finding affordable housing near by!
This is better than any institution in my home country, the courses, the lecturers and the facilities are miles beyond the accepted standard in the education system globally today
I like the opportunities and the department here for my course, also the student life here is great with all the societies on offer, I've made many friends from all sorts of degrees, recently on my course I've went on many field days outside the University and have connected with with my classmates, the campus and everything on offer here is wonderful!!
The facilities are great and the staff are really welcoming not all lecturers provide the free materials online for people who may have missed class due to sickness ect
Some toilets are nice, some, mainly in the taylor law building are small, crowded and not pleasant. The student support is good however varies over the years and on certain situations.
Student union needs different food options
Love the location, community and people.
I don’t think we can move the campus from king street to somewhere else as it is historical but overall the campus is around a somewhat dangerous area
It’s a great place with great lectures and facility’s
Great place for sports and extracurriculars. Hillhead in first year is super fun. The library is cool and the lecture halls are nice. Seaton park right next door is suepr pretty.
Great area, great environment
The university has great facilities and well equipped classrooms that make studying more efficient. The campus is clean, modern, and comfortable, with plenty of spaces to study or relax. The classes are engaging, and the professors are supportive. Although I would say they should provide more support to international students.
The best experience is with my peers in my lectures and tutorials as we learn well of each other and the teachers. The worst experience is high price for food shopping and budgeting we have to do.
Uni of Aberdeen is really good because of its vibe and care for their students I love it here
Best - the environment is chill Worst - 9ams are tiring
Best - old buildings and closeness for back to back lectures. The surrounding parks are nice. Worst - Some of the newer buildings like Edward Wright that aren’t nice.
Great places to study Some of the newer building need more signs
Best: campus itself and classes Worst: rude classmates and awful flatmates


The student support is great. There are lots of societies and events on during the week which helps put mind off academic stress. I would love to see a lunch/ breakfast, even free fruit in one of the buildings as it will encourage students to eat healthy on-the-go.
I would love to see more lecturers put learning intentions/ checklists up as it will not only outline course content when looking back to revise/ look for a certain topic but also, help pin-point where to start with revision and making practise questions relating to the context of the lectures.
