Dundee

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

There is lots to do in Dundee including visiting the Dundee Contemporary Arts where there is an artist exhibition, restaurant/bar, cinema and gift shop. The Overgate shopping centre is a great place to shop with a large range of well known stores. Take a walk down to the waterfront to see the V&A which is currently being built and visit the outstanding degree show at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design which is on in May each year.

The location of the university and the library are perfect as it's right besides the city centre. The shopping is easy as there's a mall with everything you need, and Tescos are not far from each other. The night life is good, at least during the term time.

There’s a lot of great pubs and bars in Dundee, also a lot of places to eat out. The shops are average but not any worse than you’d find in most other cities, maybe just on a smaller scale. Nights out are good, there are a few decent nightclubs, but the university student Union is my favourite place to go, with cheap entry and cheap drinks it’s a great place for students. There’s a lot to do in terms of days out to places nearby Dundee such as St. Andrews or drives up the countryside. Dundee itself has castles, museums etc to visit which will become more when the renowned V&A opens this year. Housing is not too expensive in comparison to places like Edinburgh and Aberdeen which makes it pretty affordable for students.

The location is excellent right in the city centre near lots of good food places for when your cramming before deadlines! Also Dundee is fairly small so that the uni is usually within walking distance from accommodation :)

Dundee is a very small city; you can walk from one end to the other fairly comfortably within about an hour, and the city centre itself consists of only about four streets. That said, Dundee has a heart like no other. Both unis are only a short walk from the city centre, which itself is on the up and up with lovely new restaurants and shops opening by the day. I'm not really one for a night out myself, but other people seem to enjoy it well enough and the pubs are pretty cheap. The various shopping centres (overgate and wellgate in particular) contain most if not all the shops you could possibly ask for in a conveniently central location.

Dundee is up and coming for such a small city. It has several places for nights out (however tonnes of room for improvement) and good, cheap places to drink and eat. Everything is just a walk away so really easy to get around. There are tonnes of societies that are very active and always looking for new members. University Halls are expensive for what you receive but the private halls are a lot more reasonable with better faculties. The shopping centre covers most generic tastes and is very central.

Dundee has cheap rent and cheap nights out. Lots of nightclubs, bars and restaurants. Things like cinemas are far away but great shopping centre. Easy to get around.

Great wee town, with great student-oriented nightlife and businesses. Bigger shops are bit further away from the centre. Rent is cheapest in the UK, but not in too bad of condition.

I like the location of the uni as it's close to the train station, and I travel by train to uni every day so it's pretty ideal having it be a short walk. The union in dundee is great and also a short walk from other clubs etc in town. For food there's lots of little cafes around the uni and mayfly across the road. As I'm studying art it's great for location as it's a short walk to the DCA

Dundee's a fantastic city, not so small as to be boring but not big enough to need to drive everywhere. The Reading Rooms is a fab nightclub, they have a night called Locarno once a month where they just play 50s/60s music, it's brill. Shopping's a bit generic but there's the odd gem if you look hard enough.

Great city, lots of culture and nightlife is mad! Helpful staff around the uni! The union is by far the best I’ve ever experienced, 5 floors accomodating everything you could ask for
