Finding Student Accommodation

The coastal city of Dundee is home to over 19,000 students in two universities, and students can choose between 18 different accommodations options.

Dundee is a student-friendly city and you can expect student-friendly prices for both accommodation and cost of living. If you’re travelling to Dundee by train, you will most likely go across the well-known Tay Rail Bridge, the iron bridge over the River Tay. Part of the city is being regenerated and there are an array (albeit not the most extensive) of restaurants, shops and things to do for students. The V&A Dundee has a contemporary exterior resembling the coastline of east Scotland. You can also find the Glamis Castle, a 17th century fairytale castle, where you’ll find a collection of furniture, tapestries, old weapons and more. According to Shakespeare, a castle stood in that location 1,000 years ago where Macbeth murdered King Duncan. Read more about Dundee

The average cost of living in Dundee is 3.6% lower than the national average, and the average cost of accommodation is 13% lower than the average of Scotland (we've tracked costs for private and uni halls over the last 12 months).

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
