Help! Dundee university accommodation

Hi all, first time poster here I've received a conditional offer from Dundee and I've decided it's is definitely my first choice. I'm now beginning my application for accommodation and I'm little unsure of which to apply for, at the moment I'm torn between Belmont Tower and West Park Villas. I'm drawn to these two as they appear sociable, the standards of the room seem fairly decent but most importantly they are cheaper than Belmont Flats/Heathfield.

Any advice or recommendations? In short, I'd like somewhere that's sociable, fairly cheap and of a decent standard. Thanks!

Sorry about the slow reply, been a bit busy and I kept forgetting to reply I haven't actually received an email about booking my accommodation yet, I assumed I would receive it within a couple of days of accepting them as my firm offer. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and I'll let you know how I get on!

I'll be studying English and Creative Writing, how about you?

@Airmed, any alternative you could recommend?

Accommodation didn't open until April last year. I didn't apply until the 14th April myself. It all depends when you get the email.

Ahh right I see ! Thanks for that
Also would you mind telling me which halls are better belmont or heathfield and if possible say what rhe difference between them is. Thank you very much

I'm back and Airmed is spot on I called and was told they hope to send out the emails in the next two weeks, hope that helps x

I'm waiting myself too, I have to apply to stay up in Belmont or Heathfield for the summer as I am not going home. So I can tell you all what it is like in the nice on campus flats!

Heathfield flats typically have a slightly larger kitchen/living space than belmont, and can be slightly quieter since belmont is directly next to the union (depending on which flat you get there). Both are built aorund a massive courtyard so you'll alway be getting drunken people traffic on tuesdays/fridays/saturdays so there isn't really a noise difference. Very little difference at all really apart from the bigger kitchen haha. Both are built and furnished in exactly the same way!

I lived in belmont and had quite a few friends in heathfield. They are both a lot nicer than the tower but obviously slightly more expensive. West park is exactly the same and belmont and heathfield too, the only difference is the distance away! But if you're happy walking or with a bike the distance is nothing at all. In the evenings/nights there's a free minibus that can shuttle you from West Park to the campus and vice versa, so if you're staying on campus late there's an easy option home!

Hey guys, I know its been quite a time ago now that you've posted.. But I was wondering would you be able to say where abouts flats 1-7 are in heathfield ? I just wanted to find out where about the block is but cant find a way to visualise it hahaha. Like I mean is it at the very back of heathfield or in front from like old hawkhill road ? Thank you so much

Hiya,

I can always check tomorrow or Sunday for you (I am in Dundee and I am moving up to Belmont tomorrow for the summer) but I would assume that it is at the front, Old Hawkhill Road.

Aww you'd be an absolute gem if you could - though only do it when you're not busy ! Don't want to burden you. But see I assumed so as well but then some google map thing shows it at the back from like hawkhill road from the roundabout (if that makes sense)... So I was wondering cause I want to see where abouts my block will be ahahaha
