Why you Shouldn't go to Dundee University

- Dundee University will be a terrible choice for you IF you are looking for something that the City can't give to you. If you want a huge hustle-bustle city... if you want a long commute... if you want miles of shopping... or if you want to jet off for international trips every fortnight... then Dundee honestly might not be a great fit for you.
There are a bunch of reasons why I love Dundee Uni. But there are also a bunch of reasons why you might not want to come to Dundee.
#UniversityofDundee
I do have a LOT of love for Dundee Uni... but it's not right for everyone. Moving or choosing where to live your life is a huge step and I'm gonna be honest with you here. There are a lot of things you should consider. Also yes. I may or may definitely still have salty feelings about the girl from 2nd year business class who told me she would have rather gone to St Andrews Uni instead.

Hii Emma, I am planing to take this September intake in Dundee for my master's in law. My aim is to get PhD after my master. Is there any possibility to get full PhD scholarship in Dundee or not. If yes, what's the criteria for that?
What a lovely calming voice you have Emma. I agree with you in relation to Dundee Uni. I graduated from there but the place was just too small and bigger city like Glasgow (where I come from) I should have went there. Emma if you ever want to read a story or do a blog it would be great 😀 x
Standards in engineering have dropped I feel sorry for the paying students who are not getting their money's worth no one likes to be short change
Emma Sandy .
It good job you gave reasons to not decide to go to Dundee University.
I will appreciate it if you or anyone can list reasons why we can choose University of Dundee.
hearing all of the reasons why people might not want to study in dundee is all of the reasons that I do in fact really want to study in dundee in a couple of years, Thanks for the great video Emma!!
I have same feelings as yours. Apparently i feel the reason not to study in dundee is you should choose dundee😆
It's almost an advert for Dundee!
True
Nothing wrong with Dundee ....... think she's judging the city purley on her own preferences ...... which won't be everyones.
@@madmaxmckinnes5862 I'm pretty sure the video is satircal 😭. Almost all of the reasons sounds like a list of things she loves about it.
I actually prefer going to school by plane, so i guess dundee wont work... really wish i could commute for 10 hours everyday :(
So sad. My thoughts are with you :( xxx
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 shut up
🤣
Arguably the best advert for THE University of Dundee!
NGL, You had me at the first part xD I'm a prospective student of Uni of Dundee and looking forward for a great time there hopefully!
I went to Dundee uni as an undergraduate and a postgraduate. All those reasons are why I liked it 🤣 I was ready to move away by the time I worked there for 6 years after too.
How do I apply?
Hi Emma… I wonder if you do tour inside the building also? Because I really want to know what inside the building of Dundee… how is the class setting and etc…. I love all the reason that you gave in this video… make me want to go to Dundee… but not knowing how the class would be… is there a lot of seminar happening… hinder me from 100% sure to apply to this uni
I did my master's degree at the University of Dundee, and it was the best ever!!! I'll do it again. Emma, thanks for advertising this wonderful Uni.😅
hey bruv i need some help
i from india and i got shortlisted for msc in international marketing
be true to me
is it worth going
like ROI job perspective and placement
Hi Emma thanks for the video, I’d like to know are there part time jobs available for students at Dundee?
Hearing this i feel like Dundee isn't a bih city. So will I be able to get part-time jobs ?
Does it affect placement compared to other places ?
Bro you there?
Saw this video and my heart still says Dundee
What abt the teaching quality in masters, classroom strength, assessment, research quality and accommodation cost?
Emma what about the jobs for the dependent in Dundee? Can I easy to find a job as soon as posible
Hi Emma,
I moving to Dundee by this February.
Is there anyway you can help to find an accommodation in Dundee because its getting really hard to find one.
I'm not sure that I can be much practical help. The university halls are good and looks to be accepting applications currently. To find a private let try Zoopla, S1homes, lettingWeb. Or for 1 bedroom in a shared place there are Facebook groups, gumtree or spareroom.com. All the best with your move.
Hello mam I applied for mba international business course in Dundee University on13 March for September intake 2023 but i didn't received any offer letter, could you please tell me when will I receive a offer letter
There's literally a huge Puregym 5 mins walk away from the Uni lol.
Have you tried Cairo University?
Please tell about the curriculum.. and job prospects.
Is dundee uni good for msc data science and career opportunities in data science?
What's the rate of getting part-time jobs in Dundee
Dundee rocks! They have an awesome University Challenge team as well
Too right Philip
Hey please help i got admitted in this uni can you please share experiences about business studies os ot worth?
I did it in Mcr early 1990s, my daughter is now in DD1. I think it is a beautiful place.
Does it snow in Dundee?
What about part-time job opportunities?
hey! emma sandy i goted offer letter from Dundee University and Edinburgh Napier university so can you plz tell me which place is best according to job opportunities
Congratulations! Edinburgh is bigger so there will be more opportunities, but living costs are also higher. Edinburgh has direct international flights, and Dundee is a little bit further to travel in to. At Napier you'll likely commute by bus. In Dundee everything will likely be within walking distance. I find socialising in Dundee can be spontaneous and cheaper. Socialising in Edinburgh requires (for me at least) more planning and travelling. Edinburgh has more cultural events. Go with your gut and best wishes.
Hello Emma, I am goning to study in Dundee for my pre-master and master degree program，actually it will be my first time to study in the UK, so I am pretty nervous.I wonder weather Dundee is a foreigner friendly place?
As a person who enjoy quiet life,I think I will love this place，thanks for you advice.
Hello, congratulations on coming to study in Dundee. The city has a very large student population, with a high number of international students. I have friends and colleagues who came to Dundee from India, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, New Zealand, Germany, Ghana, Brazil, Spain... In my opinion, Scotland is friendly to people moving here, often getting the nickname "New Scots". And Scotland has a particularly large festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is a great cultural comedy festival. International cultures are celebrated. Also people who live here permanently (despite nationality) are often given the right to vote in Scottish elections- I hope this shows how the Scottish government respects people who make Scotland their home. I hope you feel very welcome here.
@@EmmaSandy Thanks,Emma , I just start my class online this week, professors and teacher are really nice,I think I will enjoy studying in Dundee.
@@EmmaSandy Got to say, I have been in Dundee for nearly a month, I really love this city， the people here are so friendly and the weather hear is great (actually I enjoy the whole of Scotland ). Our university and my master's program in professional accounting really raise my ambitions, I do think this will this University can make my dream come true by giving me the systematic education of the ACCA.
@@MuhammadImran-kg8rz Hi , I have also applied
Hey Emma! Thanks for all your vids! I am planning to come in Sep 2021 for Undergrad in Math+Psychology, how is student life their? Are we able to pay our living expenses by working part time? Can you please help? Thanks!
Hi Abhijeet, congrats. I worked full time in summers to save up & then weekends (8-16 hours) in term time. I think the school of Science & Engineering has the gaudi family tradition. Also, there are societies to join. All the best.
@@EmmaSandy Thank you for your quick reply Emma! Since the max one could work part time is 20 hours/week, so will I be able to pay my expenses if I work that much, while theoretically the answer is yes, I want to know your practical answer, thanks! Also, what is the Gaudi tradition, I have never heard of it before, thanks for all your help Emma!
@@abhijeetraut6427 yes you can work 20 hours a week and survive, also you can arrange to pay the tuition fees in 7 instalments rather than in one go
Im planning for Sep 2021 too!
Hello, You are in Dundee, now?
Is a hard to get job in Dundee?
most of the cons sound like pros to me.
The video should be titled "why you would want to go to Dundee University " 😃
Hello Emma I have one doubt
Is it easy to get partime job near dundee university and please tell the minimum wage provided by the employer
Thank you
Hello Sreerag, minimum wage is based on age. Under 18 is £4.55/hour, 18-20 years is £6.45, 21-24 years is £8.20, over 25 years is £8.72. I'm really not sure what its like job searching right now, but some websites to search for jobs are indeed.com and s1jobs.com. All the best.
@@EmmaSandy could u pls enlight my mind a bit on Msc in public health dept? i am applying for it as i am writing to u. And if things go well i ll start this coming fall
This video almost reads as satire
This is hilarious!!! I’m back for my final year. If your looking for any new friends, let’s meet up and collab. Also - we lost all our shops!
I am coming in sept....i hope we meet🥰
Honestly feel like all your points are mocking/false (they all seem like positives?)? Barring the hill thing (murder on the calfs) and I guess international travel?
Though honestly an ember bus'll take you to Edi airport in like 1.5hrs for £7.50 so that's barely a thing really.
Emma , actually I am thinking to do my masters from UK , but I want to enjoy my student life , where I can do fun with girls enjoy and all ! Can you suggest me an university for that
Come to uid gandhinagar brother
If you want to have fun with girls, go to a brothel, not to a uni.
Is the night life good in Dundee?
The nightlife was good for me. The whole of Perth Road is full of good pubs. Within 5 minutes walk there was a handful of clubs to choose. Entry always cheap enough. Drinks pretty reasonable. A night out would cost 1/3 the amount to go out in Edinburgh/big city. I felt safe enough in a group. It was also MUCH more casual than a big city scene & I enjoyed dressing casual. Depends on what you're after.
Sometimes being sunny ... 🤣 well said ....
Hello, I'm doing PhD in Dundee as well. I like the town! hehe
Hello
What about the availability of what time jobs?
Thank you, i accepted in dundee and i come in September, could you please tell me about renting house and fouding job
Start looking now at renting. There's plenty about but some are marginally worse than others. It's a great Uni, my son is graduating and has enjoyed his time there, get whatever job you can get then aim higher 👍🏻
Hey emma, i 'm planing to come to dundee with my family if you know about child care please enlighten me,?
Hi Nishadhi, there is a nursery behind the student union shop (they're outdoors often), and there is a popular nursery down Roseangle. There is sometimes eligibility for government subsidised childcare hours. Two primary schools nearby are Blackness, I've heard positive words, and Victoria Park that is a new build. All the best!
I went to Dundee for an interview at Duncan of Jordanstone college of art , stopped overnight in a b and b went out the night before the interview and got laid by the person who actually turned out to have given me a tour the next day. That was like 10 years ago. I somewhere else instead. Fancy that. Small town indeed.
truly touching story.
It was fun . Long time ago
same here but 17 years ago lol
thought you might like to know that even though we won't be going to Uni in Dundee we are thinking of moving there and we still found your video helpful and interesting. almost all of your "don't" items are things we'd actually appreciate about a place so ... good work, and thank you.
Lovely to hear 💛 best wishes for moving if you decide on Dundee!
Hi,Emma.I am planning to come to Dundee for an MSc in September 2021.Is it a safe city to study and engage in a part time job there? Thank you in advance
Hi Gayan, I worked the weekends at a supermarket during my undergrad. 8-16 hours a week. It was good. I felt safe walking, taking bus and driving around campus/ city centre and to work.
For getting a part time job, there are either 'set hours contracts', or 'zero hours contracts' (employer decides hours). There is also a legal minimum wage for each age group. Check out indeed.com for adverts. The site can suck & glitch, but there are lots of adverts. Good luck!
@@EmmaSandy Thank you very much Emma for your detailed reply and highly appreciate that. Good Luck with your further studies as well. Take Care & Stay Safe ...!!!
Please tell about the minimum wage for the partime job
@@EmmaSandy let me guess big Tesco down the front? I'm hoping to get myself something there...

OMG! same!
Same ! I just recieved my unconditional offer and I can't wait to study here.
🤗 Does Dundee have scholarships
I’m from iraq, l need help , l need is going to university dundee, why? Please ❤
It has one of the best Dental schools.
It is very reasonable for rent
I got my unconditonal letter within 12 days ..so what should i do .. I Submitted my file on 31 march and got my offer letter yesterday so what should i do next , i got 7000 Scholarship
You should ask yourself if you want to come. Is anything holding you back?
@@sardarsingh5933 have you found an answer to it bro?
@@AbhishekChauhan-jr6zp not yet
Hello bro, I also got the offer, what is ur gpa? did you take any further step?
@@mindpalace6223 i got my visa
Actually, I went to the gym in the uni (the ISE I think it's called). I am not a huge gymrat but it is good, has a lot of equipment, also has a specific room/floor for powerlifting. I cannot think of one think to complain about. It also has a water dispenser which is really nice.
As for the shopping centres, there are two malls/shopping centres, one of them has a lot of cheap stuff, pound shops, if you're into that - maybe you'd like it.
Hi, can I have your mail, I want to discuss something with you.
Thank you
What about study quality, lecturers or job prospects views???
I'd like to know this as well. These all points mentioned in the video are meaningless for me tbh 😂
@@sohailpatel7549 yes, i got offer letter but part time jobs are there or not, thats' the issue.
As a local of Dundee who moved in, hi, come join our friendly locals, like everywhere else it has it down falls but I've found people born there hate it, people who moved in love it.
So for a person like me, a dude from a small city in the Himalayas who hates cities and likes to walk everywhere bumping into friends....
I had a great experience at Dundee Uni ❤
If you are moving to Dundee for uni you have to visit linlathen
what did Dundee do to you 😄
I’m form dundee il just stick with St. John’s high school
This does make sense
'if you're into commuting' haha
Can we do study in dundee University during staying in birhmigham??
hi, you went or planning to go, actually am planning to do the same and doing some research on this. Kindly let me know if you know something about this university, PROS/CONS.
@@mindpalace6223 I am planning to go there . please research about it
@@jasleensharma8897 I am doing some research, but concern is 1+2 program rather than 2+2 in uk and part time job availability is again a big issue.
I alread got an offer letter, but confused.
Scummy in the 80s? No. I studied at the Uni in the 80s and judging by the various YT videos I’ve recently watched, it was a lot better. No phones, but you simply stepped outside and had a great time with interesting people. It was wonderful.
please which university in uk is nice and cheap to afford i need a response...thanks
I'd say Dundee!
@@EmmaSandy for real? u mean the whole of the Uk ?
How is the part time jobs ?
How is accomodation expenses ? Is it affordable ?
hi there! recent dundee graduate and upcoming dundee MSc student - there are lots of opportunities to undertake part-time jobs, however for the past year due to the pandemic it was hard for students to find part time jobs but it is getting better. DUSA, our student union, are currently hiring more student staff to work for part-time but also opportunities in the rest of the city. in comparison to the rest of Scotland, dundee is definitely very affordable in terms private accommodation/private letting agencies. you find that the further you are away from the main city campus the more affordable it gets, but you can be as far as a 10-20 min walk away from campus paying about 250-450 pounds per month for rent (but there are other factors contributing to this as well). in terms of university accommodation it is slightly more on the upper end of expenses, but again your monthly rent would include bills, electricity, wifi, water.. etc as one payment, where as when you privately let an apartment your rent does not include your bills. however dundee has 4 different accommodations, 2 on campus that are more on the higher end of the paying scale and the 2 off campus (one 5 mins away and another one 20 mins away walking) that are more affordable.
@@eg9986 Thanks
@@eg9986 If you can pls tell me about job opportunities after Master's there. Does it different according to the size of the city?
@@sohailpatel7549 I am having same question bro. Let me know if you find the answer
Bruhh change your title to why you should come to Dundee lol Dundee is the best
This is COMPLETELY off-topic, and I imagine the channel owner will remove my post as soon as she reads it, but the following comments were made by myself on another TH-cam page which deals with the Gilgo Beach murders in the USA:
Compulsion is exactly the right word. I agree with you when you say he has _"probably been at this since he was sexually active."_ At least you Americans are very open and candid about these things, and your 1st Amendment allows discussions about sickos; even outing them once they have served their sentences and have left prison is not against the law. In the UK, things are pretty different. There was a man who had raped a woman in Glasgow in 1985 when he was 37 years old and he then spent 8 years in prison for that rape. Fast forward one-and-a-half decades and the man now owns a hotel in Dundee, on the other side of Scotland. Old habits die hard, I guess, and in 2012 he fondled the breasts of a female guest who was asleep in one of the rooms at his hotel. And get this: he did not spend a day in prison for this sexual assault!!! However, he was later imprisoned for 8 months for battering a woman at his hotel, who needed hospital treatment. And get THIS: there was an online blog which warned women in Dundee to avoid staying at that hotel, called *Anderson's Guest House, 285 Perth Road, Dundee DD2 1JS, Scotland,* and this blog was removed after a few months, presumably at the request of the rapist himself. But the real travesty is this: how on EARTH does the Scottish Police (or whichever body that decides whether a person is suitable to operate a hotel or motel in Scotland) allow a RAPIST to own and run a HOTEL where unsuspecting female guests would be staying??? _Anderson's Guest House_ changed its name to *Lindale Guest House* shortly after the female guest was fondled in 2012, but one very much suspects that the claim that Lindale is under a new management is total BS. One suspects that the rapist is still the silent owner, but others are managing the guest house on his behalf. Which would also mean he still has the master key and still has access to the property!

hi Emma, great video!
I got an offer from Dundee Uni to study the psychology conversion programme and have been thinking to join this uni. I have been trying to reach out to alumni to get more insight into the course (because the information provided on the official website is limited) but failed to find any. Do you know any students from this programme? I would be grateful if you can introduce me to them or just simply share someone's email with me so I can contact them :)
Your help is highly appreciated!! Keep up the great work!
Hiiiii I’m in my first year at Dundee and did psychology as an elective on top of my chosen course for the first semester! The professors were really supportive but the course itself was very challenging! Hope this helps xx
@@hollywhitaker2177 hi, thanks for the insight! Do you know any student that takes psychology conversion? Wish you all the best studying at Dundee :)
St.Andrews is the biased Uni , regardless of your qualifications and how good they are , St.Andrewe are only interested if your parents have money ❌️
I hate that I loved this vid
It is a better idea to make a positive video about why you SHOULD go to Dundee University, rather than the opposite.
MARKETING GIMICH 😂😂😂
NICE ADVERTISEMENT OF UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE...
Standards have dropped I feel sorry for the paying students who are not getting their money's worth no one likes to be short changedI
this was a very negative positive video

She is taking the piss, ironic. Bravo.
Wow are you just trying to keep it to your self.
I think yer talking pish lassie
So if your unhappy with Dundee just leave then.
😉
haha
These reasons are personal to your situation/character and are nothing to do with the university or the city for that matter. Dundee is an amazing city and this video should not put others off coming to the city to study or visit for that matter. To say you shouldn't come to Dundee as you might be recognized and spoken to by someone on campus is not a reason to not visit Dundee! lol
This video is pointless, a list of opinions dressed up to sound like real reasons. If you didn’t like Dundee so much why didn’t you just leave ?
I alway new it was a bad place,I hate the university,I hate everything about, its knowing to be one of the best but to me it’s the worst place ever and it’s a lie it’s not the best place like people it is.
are u sure. could u pls tell me more about it i am applying for that university this year and if i get admission i ll begin this coming september
Try it but they might reject you and don’t apply to the st Andrew university it is the worst one because the people that go there think that the world is there’s, they just thing that there better, but you could try Dundee and hope that you get in.
But there is people that didn’t get in to that one. And there’s lots of other better universities than that one.

I hate how uni is becoming ever more important for just regular run of the mill jobs.
At my Scottish school there were high rates of depression. I think we should study less.
It's only lining the pockets of fat cat uni directors not us young people.
It is still much much better than how the US is
@@queenkataracat so do u mean US is worst than the Uk? pls answer me and kindly throw some light on some of the main ussies on me
@@mensahaguidji5438 colleges here, even for small community colleges run about 10,000$ a year. The majority of classes have nothing to do with the degree itself, and you have to pay for absolutely everything even if you don't use it. Ex, if the school has a gym/weight room, they will charge you for a membership even if you don't use it.
Also, entry level jobs are now requiring advanced degrees, which means you can easily be 100k$ in debt before you even start working.
The American college system is terrible. High depression and suicide rates are on the rise. And because of the job market, people are being forced into the college system. Some are even getting degrees just so they can say they have one on a resume.
