Dundee has a really good social life and is also a great, forward-thinking, mordern university. The city isn't too large either so it's great for first-time independence and you will always feel safe!

Dundee University is a good place to study. Most of the lecturers aim to assist in your learning as much a possible and the campus i pretty good. The library is also set up for either quiet study or group study however unlike a few other universities in Scotland, the main library is not open 24/7 (this is needed in exam time!). in general Dundee is a great university based in a very student friendly city.

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.

Dundee is a fab place! IIf you throw yourselves you'll have a blast at Dundee. There are so many societies and sports clubs so you never be bored. The union is amazing and always cheap... what ever student really wants! With a VIP you get free entry into the union on nights out and drinks are always at a bargain price. During the day the union is always offering deals on food.I think all of my tutorial leaders and lectures previously or still do work in law. The lectures aren't really the lecturer reading off a slide they are always informative and they try to make them entertaining. All the staff are really friendly and answer all your questions and have drop in sessions so you're never let to struggle alone. The first year I stayed in halls. I really enjoyed living in halls, and am now best friends with my flat mates! The rooms are actually quite big and my kitchen was massive. My flat was on ground floor but it was always safe (even when you went out with your windows left open).The support staff and maintained company are really helpful and are willing to give advice and assist with most problems. There are lots of events going on at the union where students who live in halls get free entry which is always a plus! The only downside to halls is the price, it's almost £5000 a year for un catered and you have to pay £2.80 to pay to use the washing machines.Everywhere in Dundee is really close so you never have to take a bus you can walk to where every you want to go. The town is surprisingly big. There are good transport links with the train station and bus station. Also I think you can find almost all the high street shops you could want. The eye candy is okay there are a lot of girls here! That doesn't mean the guys aren't good looking tho ;)
