Dundee

Food choices are mediocre at best, shopping is extremely poor. Not much to do within the city. Value for money varies across the city.

The city is pretty quiet during non term time. As most people in this city are students. There are two big shopping centres located in the city centre. As well as 3 cinemas and ice rink.

Very good for a night out. Has everything you find in a bigger city, just on a smaller scale. People are nice and helpful.

Has two great universities who work to achieve success and also a popular shopping mall with shop such as primark.

Great night life! Bit Darla nd grey at times... but over pretty sunny and plenty to do if you like the outdoors or a good nightclub

The city itself is cosy, but lacks a lot in the way of things to do and places to go for nights out etc. With the V and A recently opening and an expansion of decent mid-range resteraunts it's nice, quiet city to be a part of

Dundee is a small, friendly University City. There is lots of different places to eat and things to do near the campus and students halls. The newly built stunning V&A is a must see.

Dundee is a very friendly student town. With cheap accommodation options and relatively cheap food makes it ideal for students You'll always find students and related events throughout the town.

Good nights out, plenty of places to eat with lots more vegan options. Would like to see some Japanese restaurants open up or some new food places. Shopping wise there isn't a lot but enough to get by.

Dundee has a great nightlife for both students and it's residents providing both fun and exciting times at every club with the highlight being Carbon Dundee. Restaurants are the highlight of Dundee with many places to enjoy a bite to eat from mozza to Toni macaroni however more shops would make Dundee better although it has a wide selection already.

Small city but has everything in it. Safe feeling to it, even at night. Plenty of night clubs to choose from including an 80's/90's club, a club playing house/r'n'b music and also a few clubs playing current chart music. 2 main shopping centres in the city centre, best one being the Overgate.

Very fun and wild on nights out especially for a small city. Good places to eat and relax. Cute city with beautiful landscape

The nightlife is pretty good, a few nightclubs and loss of bars to choose from. It's quite a cheap city so there's loss of nice food places.

Although Dundee is seen to be a city of culture and is making supposed positive changes to attract tourists and already residents of Scotland, it is lacking character and ambition. This City has the potential to become a tourist hot spot but the City seems to be terrible at marketing and seems to be full of eye sores etc.

Dundee is a vibrant student hot spot home to a growing retail and nightlife scene due to the arrival of the internationally acclaimed V&A museum. With one of the highest student populations per capita in the UK, the city truly is catered to meet the desires of young people, and is definitely the best value for money in Scotland. Voted one of the world's coolest cities by GQ, and named one of 2019's hottest destinations by the Wall Street Journal, the time to arrive at Scotland's 4th biggest (and 1st coolest) city is now.

The food selection in Dundee is superb. Plenty of variation for all to enjoy whatever their culture. The Overgate and Wellgate shopping centre allow for great shopping, plus the easy access to Lidl from both University Campuses! If you plan to go out anywhere for a meal please go to the Gidi Grill, their chicken is sublime. The night life however is pretty lacking with the only decent club being DUSA. Aura can be okay at times but DUSA attracts the most and is by far the best for a night out in town.

I moved to Dundee to study at Abertay University and so far it's been lovely here! It's the second biggest city in Scotland, yet it feels like a close community and you're bound to run into your mates on the street daily! The nightlife is excellent, the people are friendly and it's generally a great fit for students. I enjoy hitting Overgate for shopping and my favourite place to get diabetes at is The Pancake Place. The sunniest city in Scotland doesn't disappoint with its mesmerising sunsets -- especially when they hit the Tay. I'm hoping to continue living in Dundee even after finishing my degree.

The student nightlife the union is good and is always holding events but it is very busy sometimes. A lot of places to go to eat and shop so always something to do.

Location is perfect. The campus is small which allows you to get to leave tires easily. Shops/bars/pubs etc. Is all within walking distance from the university and flats are all nearby.

Nights out are good and cheap, and as there are few clubs everyone goes to the same ones each night. Shopping isn't great but there is a centre with most shops you would get in a basic city. Public transport is poor and quite expensive eg £26 return to Edinburgh.

I love this place as it is small and it feels like you always bump into people you know around town, you can get everywhere via bike or public transport easily and cheaply!

Going to university in Dundee is amazing! The city is just the right size - plenty to do but not too overwhelming as big cities can be! Dundee is the sunniest place in Scotland, and even when it isn't there are just as many great indoor things to do as there are outdoor. The city is right along the waterfront, meaning that there aren't just gorgeous views but also quick, cheap, and easy access to nearby beaches and coastal towns. Dundee overall is a very affordable city, which is lucky because there are so many amazing shops, cafes, and restaurants to go try out! It's filled with so much culture with museums both old and new, wonderful live music and festivals, and multiple theatre venues. Everywhere is very student friendly and there's so many pubs, clubs, and bars that cater specifically towards students. I absolutely love going to university here and would highly recommend Dundee to anyone.

It definitely helps that the university is located in one of the sunniest city in Scotland. It makes some long, tiring days brighter and really lifts your mood. Love that all the amenities are within walking distance to the university, be it a grocery shop, a walk along the beautiful river Tay or going to the train station for a day trip out of the city.

Dundee is a small wee city but in terms of places to eat there’s plenty options including Mexican with places like rancho pancho and Mas (personal faves), Italian with Italian grill plus yer classics including frankie and bennys, Nando’s, mcdees, kfc ... ye won’t go hungry
