Dundee is a good place to study because the campus is located in the city centre, which makes it easy to get to classes, while there also being lots to do nearby. Dundee is a small city, but it still has everything you need + lots to keep you entertained, without the traffic and busy nature which other Scottish cities have.
Best is student experience and social aspects Worst is academic side
The facilities for the school of life sciences are one of the best in the UK Lack of support throughout the year specifically for 1st years
Enjoy it
Teaching is great and university facilities as well

Very friendly campus but could do with better club nights xx
While it is a good location, there are issues where it feels students and lecturers are not listened to, the union for most the last year has been "under construction" and a lot of events have been stripped down to the bare minimum.

The library facilities are spacious, kept clean and quiet - this makes them a very desirable and pleasant space in which to study,
The universities mental health services I have found extremely helpful! I know from speaking to friends the other unis don’t over the same level of support I’ve received. I feel like the uni is supportive and wants people to succeed. The careers service was very helpful to me but I’d like to see more appointments offered as I had to wait a couple weeks to see someone. The union used to be a highlight but it has seen a decline recently, I think it needs serious investment because it is such an important part of the uni experience. The library staff are amazing but I think an expansion of library seating or another building that can be used for studying as it has been difficult to find somewhere to seat recently.

Best: Location is very good. Close to the city centre and most of the buildings close. Worse: Applied for mitigating circumstances for a final exam. They were accepted and although the grade for that exam was really low they did nothing about it because the overall grade was a pass for that module. DUSA is not in great shape. They are unorganised and not responding to what students want. They should really get it together.
Meeting likeminded people is the best thing about uni The worst thing is the lack of spare time on my course, it's very easy to get burnt out when you have at least one exam a week
