Spectacular uni, had the best time of my life so far and Aberdeen has anything any Student could ever want! Highly recommend it to anyone.
University of Aberdeen provides excellent support and teaching. The lecturers are very friendly and always happy to help as eell as the university staff. The teaching facilities are comfortable.
My experience so far of the university has been great, its welcoming environment is coupled with regular events and opportunities, as well as a communicative and active set of clubs.
Horrible professors. I asked a question one time and he said "you need to come up with a real question". I then emailed student support and they never got back to me. My tutor never showed up for a meeting, I got stuck in an elevator there, and even when I withdrew in the Fall, they wanted me to pay for spring semester. It is a very disorganzied and unfriendly place.
Not worth going to
Have enjoyed being at Aberdeen Uni. Managed to settle into uni and make some really good friends since I started here. Some courses and lectures can be boring but I guess that's all the same with any university! The accomidation is a bit out of date but it does the job. Have had a really good time since I got here!
The uni itself is very mixed. There are some brilliant facilities linked to the uni (ie- the new gym) but also some dilapidated facilities (ie- lecture halls). Our lectures can be very hit or miss, with some brilliant lectures with other absolutely terrible lectures. The on campus accommodation (Johnston, Crombie and New Kings) is really your typical student accommodation so nothing out of the ordinary. As far as the student union goes for Aberdeen it is non-existent I've been in the building mainly to sit exams as the Union doesn't seem to do much for uni students. However, there are lots of fun and interesting clubs and societies for people to get involved in.
I have spent a half a year at the Aberdeen Uni and so far it has been great , apart from it not being as good a city as my home city of Glasgow , there is plenty to do lots of shops bars and clubs along with the clubs that are run by the student union and if there is not a club you fancy its easy enough to set up your own , Aberdeen as a city has two unis and a collage so there is plenty of students , however the city only has one student union bar which is RGu union which i believe is soon to close , however lacking a union Aberdeen makes up with its cheap drink prices most bars/clubs mid week offering vodka mix for 65p-75p and jagerbombs for 90p which you cant argue with , academically Aberdeen is a strong uni i am lead to believe it is in the top 150 in the world , i study chem eng and all facilities are of a high standard compared to what i have seen at universities in Glasgow pointing no elbows (strathclyde and GCu) , Aberdeen also hosts place to a brand new library which they claim is in the top 20 in the world or the uk (i wasnt really listening when they where spewing all their facts) it is a nice library to be fair nice and modern and plenty of space to get work done , along with the library Aberdeen uni is only 5 minutes walk from the Aberdeen sports village which was just finished in time for the 2012 olympics with the swimming pool being finished in january 2014 , i am led to believe the fee to use these is very fair however i cant say i have used them as i barely leave halls meaning i am getting a bit out of shape however why would you leave the wonderful place that is named hill head halls of residence . No more space to write anything , basically its a good uni, halls are great , location a bit poor but the rest makes up for it, if you come youll enjoy it
