University of Dundee Accommodation
The University of Dundee is the primary institution in the city of ‘jute, jam and journalism’. Despite existing in Scotland’s fourth major city, the university was for a long time part of the University of St. Andrews. This gives the University of Dundee a distinct history and atmosphere, growing up as part of one of the UK’s most venerable colleges and splitting into a modern independent body to represent Dundee.
The main campus is situated to the West of the City Centre, so it’s no surprise that a lot of the student accommodation is located in both the centre and West End of Dundee. Like so much of the city around it, the campus lies close to the shores of the Tay and offers spectacular views across the river. In particular, Perth Road is a thriving area of student activity, so many student houses are located around that area.
There are three accommodation blocks on campus – Heathfield, Belmont Flats and Belmont Tower. There’s also Seabraes just off campus (across the road) and West Park, a 15 minute walk away (which makes it much closer to Ninewells Teaching Hospital).There’s also halls in the Kirkcaldy campus.
