Fun!
Lecturers are knowledgeable - but some I feel could be more open to intellectual/academic conversations rather than just focusing entirely on the course material (a bit too like school). General communication from the University can be a bit lacking at times. Students representatives do appear to be listened to by the University.
UOD is a great place to study and explore life at its fullest. The Uni is situated in a wonderful location, beautiful view and friendly locals. The library is just beyond imagination. The school building and facilities are well structured and organised. There are maps at designated location to help guests and prospective students navigate their way round the school. The non academic staffs are very warm and welcoming.The standard of education is top notch.The lecturers are always willing to assist the students in any challenges they might be facing both academically and non academically.A study advisor is allocated to each student to help them progress through their study. As an international student with a different experience in learning,UOD has help me overcome my fears and worries. UOD has developed my confidence and enhanced my reasoning.

The best thing is the size of the campus, it is human sized with lots of green spaces to spend the sunny days in. The library is also great, with loads of books and different study spaces (silent and group spaces), to suit everyone's needs. The worst part would be the organisation/communication sometimes. We know very late the exam dates (less than a month before-hand).

Best part of my university experience is definitely the night life and the people I met pre-covid. Since covid hit everything has went down hill from good quality student nights to support for disabled students on campus. Lecturers try their hardest but with the expansion of the NCS there very little in place.
It is supportive and a lively campus especially for me as an international student. I feel welcomed into this university. Hopefully, the free bus trip could continue again once the situation is better in Dundee because it brings students to a couple of amazing places.
The teaching staff and general atmosphere at the University is great. Lecturers will, in my experience, go out of their to help you. The facilities at the University are good as well. However, the management of the University is not so exemplary and a lot of money is wasted on what is essentially useless schemes that don't help anyone. So be warned unless you want to study medicine or some kind of life science your subject is not getting the same amount of funding or attention.
