Sort:Latest reviewsGreat student support,especially in terms of financial crisis. More could be done with integration of both the old Aberdeen and foresterhill campuses
Keep language programs
The social spaces on campus facilitate a really lovely close-knit atmosphere And senior management should NOT CUT THE LANGUAGE DEGREES!
Library is too busy
Try not scrapping the languages department and destroying our degrees’ credibility and our prospects for the future.
The teaching staff are by far the best part of Aberdeen. The worst aspect of my uni experience has been the fact that they are planning to cut all language degrees at Aberdeen which has hugely impacted my final year. Staff are stressed and students are not being heard or receiving adequate support.
Facilities could be updated in older buildings
More lights
Love hillhead village and the library
There's a lot of good resources for students particularly the swap shop which has free food. The food on campus is accessible and cheap. Mostly pretty architecture. Really good societies and student activities
Worst: little necessity to actually be on campus, too much emphasis on groupwork Best: campus, clubs, people
Best - Not having to be in high-school Worst - Taking over an hour to get to campus
Great student support
It's fun
It could be improved by having more social areas for students to go between lectures.
Best- cheap pizza Worst - not as good as other university su's where the cheap drinks
Meal plan and cafeteria are not good
I think more buses to the hospital as it takes so long to get to out of the 9U times. A good thing is the amount of support available.
I love the campus, professors, and support. Bathrooms are always a bit dirty, but library access and facilities overall are great. Sir Duncan Rice library is too loud, even on the higher floors, but Taylor Library is great. The same can be said about the med campus, overall it's great. Easy access to coffee.

With multiple libraries on campus, it is easy to fit a little study sessions into busy university days. However on the busiest of days finding a computer to work on in the library can be challenging.
The lecturers are very understanding of the business of university life and do not expect you to neglect other subjects as there class is "most important". The Facilities are great whether it is the software on the computers or breadboards in electronics. Lecturers or other tutors are always asking for questions which helps add confidence to students to ask for help.
Meet new people everyday. Comfortable rooms to chill after a busy day.
