Aberdeen or Dundee

So I've been lucky enough to receive offers for Aberdeen and Dundee and am trying to decide between the two of them. Just looking for advice from any current medical students at both schools if you could explain your reasons for choosing it, and if any prospective medical students would mind sharing why you’ve picked either university. Would really appreciate any advice. Thank you
