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.

It's going really well other than flatmate problems. The university is really inviting and it's not hard to find a group that you fit in with as most people are all on an equal playing field compared to some universities.
Amazing, such a friendly city and university and I love my course. It is a nice small campus so you kind of get to know everyone which makes it easier to settle in
I have only been here for one month but I'm loving it. People are lovely, my lectures and clases are very interesting and I just really like the university in general!
Overall I am more than satisfied with my choice of university. I love my course, and the facilities here and the union too.
The campus is fantastic; everything is close together so gagging about with travelling is non existent for us people at Uni of Dundee. The waterfront is being developed so the city will only get better and better. Life sciences in particular is brilliant and most of the research being here is cutting edge. Accommodation is expensive, but it is close to campus. I love the uni , i love the student life. Pick dundee!!!
DO IT! That is my only advice and words, just bite the bullet, come to university, it will be life changing I promise.
Dundee = Fundee! Always stuff going on at the university, and the city is being regenerated - keep an eye on our water front.
Lecturers are always friendly and approachable. Course materials are accessible and coursework is manageable . The student union is the best I have ever seen . Highly recommended.
The university has many facilities and has many opportunities to expand the academic and social needs of students.
If you come here, try to keep on top of the reading materials and get to the library early on in your course. Throw yourself into societies and clubs from 1st year. Try to get a good work-party balance , you don't need to say yes to every social invitation out. Try keep on top of your work from early on in university.
Good university to attend , offers everything I would want or need. Great facilities, 24h library, active SU, top lecturers.
Anatomical sciences is a well taught course, lecturers as passionate and enthuastic. the city is small though so make sure you come here before you accept us.
Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at this university. For those thinking about enrolling you will enjoy it im sure. I currently study history and love the course.
So glad I picked dundee and moved away from home. I study law and the course and the university in general is fantastic. Very welcoming and will never let a student fail. Best decision I ever made.
met a guy named ally scott. love the place.
The university has an amazing campus right in the middle of the city. The people around are the friendliest you'll probably ever meet. The student union is one of the best in the UK, with incredible night life. Good lecturers, nice modules, I love everything about the university.The downside is perhaps the cold weather, but can't complain about that once you opt to study in Scotland.
I would recommend to everyone I know to come to Dundee. It is really one of the best place to live and study. The university is awesome. The best thing I like it, the diversity of the university, people from different parts of the world. Dundee is the place baby come on and join ;)

Overall, my experience has been okay, I have found support in my transition from one country to another and friends that were going through the same thing. However, the was a severe lack of support from the university to students, with us being heavily ignored and our complaints rarely being taken into account. Lecturers and tutors have ignored me which unfortunately led to me being very lost in some of my lectures. Other than that, the lectures in themselves were interesting and I believe to have learned as much as I would have in a normal year, but with more difficulty.
