The union ice tea and hot chocolate, that's about all. Less strikes and more student support

Staff is nice, but the uni overall is very unorganised and you have to make sure that they don’t forget about you. Plus it takes at least 10 emails to figure out a problem.
The teaching on my course is really good and student life is great.
I like the flexibility of the MA program
Tower is so amazing and the fact it has gay flag is so gorge.
The best aspect is the ease of access to everything uod. All educational resources are easy to access and same with the physical buildings. There is no worst aspect
The staff here is very supportive. Really love the content of my course. Also the location is great

Student services and support offered by the university make a massive difference.

Never had a bad experience with student support services and in general staff and lecturers have always been friendly and helpful. The union seems to be slightly worse managed recently with less on and much higher prices but still a good union and in general student life is good. The uni is in a good location in Dundee but dundee itself is pretty boring, at least compared to edinburgh/glasgow. University library is 10/10. A very very good facility. The sports facilites are also very good although quite expensive for memberships etc.

Generally student services are helpful and have a good selection of services. Student union have regular events and have shops and cafes on campus which are generally reasonably priced Library is too small and as a result is crowded during busy periods such as before exams. This isn't particularly easy to rectify however short of building a new library. The SEAts class registration system is a bit tempermental (does not always register correctly, unable to pick up signal etc.) and whilst I understand the idea behind it (preventing anyone not physically present from registering etc.) it discriminates against those who can't afford or do not want to own a smartphone. The YuJa system used to record lectures is very tempermental, meaning that audio is sometimes missing or it does not record at all.
Very friendly community & staffs are very helpful The city centre is not the most happening, could do with more shops

Located perfectly between the city centre and Perth Road. Library and union well placed between first year accommodation. Accommodation could do with some improvement! As well as student support - but that is mainly directed towards the medical school. Union is an amazing experience in first year and there is a brilliant on-campus vibe throughout the earlier years of uni. Surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants and cafe's that even open late to support students revision.
When entering 4th/5th year (placement years) you are essentially left alone! No personal tutor, no one overseeing your learning to check you are able to access the correct opportunities. Depending on location of placement - and you can be sent miles and miles away without agreeing to this!!! - you can get a real varied experience and this has a negative and unfair impact on exams. We are often sent away from placements or made to feel useless and annoying. Years 1-3, which involve lectures and tutorials, are well taught and the facilities in Ninewells are good! There does need to be more integration between medics and non-medics however, as medics must attend Ninewells every day so rarely get time on campus to meet non-medics. There are even specific medic sport societies, further separating the students.
Wasn't clean upon arrival however rooms were much nicer than any other halls I visited. En-suites for everyone and 3/4 size beds. Sofas and TV's in kitchens and good fridge/freezer space. Clean corridors and lifts and safe lock access.
