Dundee Uni - which halls?

Hey I've just joined this site but it looks great :smile:
I'm going to Dundee in September to do medicine. I'm just filling out my accomodation form but i can't decide which halls to go for. I've narrowed it down to Bellmont Flats or West Park Flats but I can't choose between them. I was thinking Bellmont looks good cos its right next to the union but then it might get quite noisy and West Park is smaller and closer to the med school but im not sure if its close enough to walk.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks! :smile:

West Park Villas are not within the sort of distance of Ninewells that you'd want to be walking regularly. It's about 30-40 minutes away on foot.

First year med students don't actually spend a lot of time in Ninewells, most of it is spent in the central campus. On the occasions you do have to go there, there are buses from the Nethergate (near campus) you can get up there... and a free minibus from the campus that takes you up to West Park... and may go on to Ninewells, I can't really recall.

they've changed the way the medicine course is now, first years are pretty much always at ninewells now. i'd personally go for belmont theough, i've seen inside the new falst and they are gorgeous.

Flip. I apologise for my out of date advice. Was my birthday last week, so I'm feeling a bit old these days.

Yeeeaaaah West Park! I will miss West park. You get the fun of walking Perth Road every day! Hehe. And also the Night Bus! Oh ye olde magic bus... I will miss that too. Banter banter banter.
