What are you thinking of studying? The 2 unis are vastly different, don't conflate them just because they are in the same city.

Dundee is really good (not that I'm biased or anything 
).
Good halls, good union, merits for a lot of courses. What you wanting to study?

LOL, they can't have billeted you in the same slums as I'm in. Do I detect a Seabraes-er by any chance?
To the guy who started the thread: make sure you get your accomodation application in early.
Personally when I came to Dundee (UofD, doing law) I didn't like the place. Then I mellowed to it, now I've gone full circle and love it. It can seem a bit **** at first, but Dundee is an odd city: everything is catered for, you've just got to find it yourself. I've found all the nice streets, amazing buildings, good bars, underrated nightclubs and interesting places to eat. It was all worth it and is a damn sight better than St Andrews where you realise after a couple of weeks that you've walked every street in the entire town. I suppose anywhere can be redeemed by the people you meet there though.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the place, I've got to say.

Ohhh... fancy. They don't let us past the doors there.
Not quite as bad as Peterson (we really should have a special charity drive for 'em) - West Park (hall, not villas)
I went to Aberday. It aint a bad uni. Its a good one for IT, but then that's what I done there. Its facilities are good, the Library is excellent and the union (if its finished ) will be really good.
ive visited the Dundee Uni union before, good place as well. Being an Abertay student you gain access to dundee's union building automatically and vice versa.
When it comes to courses, Abertay is seen predominately as the IT and technology uni while dundee more the sciences based uni. But both offer a wide verity of courses.
If there is any pacific questions you have about abertay feel free to ask

Hi I'm studying psychology and they have just finished modernising the social and health sciences department (thats were you'll probably be if your doing mental health councelling) and it looks good. One of my friends is doing Forensic Psychobiology at Abertay and hes in 3rd year. He seems to really like his course and he says the facilities are good.
