A Nice Place to Study
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
It’s a nice place, lecturers and friend in the Uni of Dundee. The uni is maximizing the students’ experience. Although in the first semester we had to do online class 100%, the lecturers are all available to give their time to discuss with us through online. The weather is fresh and all friends are good.
