Dundee residence hall, situated conveniently next to Glasgow dining hall and close to campus, offers a modern and aesthetically pleasing environment often compared to a hotel. It features amenities such as air conditioning, a fully equipped gym, study lounges, a large laundry facility, and terraces that sometimes serve as social hubs. However, the rooms are noted to be somewhat small, particularly for those in doubles or triples, and storage space is limited. Cleanliness varies with some students finding the bathrooms clean, while others experience maintenance issues like flooding. Social life in Dundee is somewhat muted, possibly due to restrictions on door propping and the building's layout, although some students successfully formed tight-knit groups. Despite these challenges, many students appreciate the hall's newness, the privacy in bathroom facilities, and the overall quality of living spaces, but there are occasional complaints about functionality and upkeep.

Super nice and the facilities are top notch. Not much social life in the dorm, but the lounge and gym are nice amenities.

Nice facilities with a scheduled bathroom cleaning each week. RAs are relatively chill and nice. Much newer and nicer compared to other dorms with the advantage of being very close to Glasgow.

This is the newest dormitory on campus, but it's not much better. You need to share bathrooms and toilets with one floor. And share your room. There are good utilities, so don't live on campus if you can help it.

Dundee tends to be not as social as other dorms, for some reason we aren't allowed to keep the doors propped open (and even if we were, it would be hard since they're pretty heavy) so that may contribute to the anti-social aspect. The room has air conditioning and a heater system through, which is s...
