it is such is a great and beautiful campus
Good competition and amazing faculties
NICE PLACE TO STUDY, NICE LIBERARY! And I got so many friends in this year!
V. Poor course choices with other problems that needs fixing. But an ancient University with a nice campus.
While considered one of the ancient universities, there is little celebration of history or traditions present. The campus is worn and classrooms need to be cleaned/repaired/painted; too much is paid to executive salaries and not enough spent on upkeep or student enrichment. Leadership is mediocre and does not run the university as a modern institution, too much micromanagement. It craves international students but provides zero support and has been outright hostile in their treatment of them. Faculty are overworked and not able to reach the potential they could if academic units were staffed appropriately, and there is too much reliance on the student union to address student needs with the university not doing nearly enough. Don't go here if you have other options.
good university and student life
Worst place for international students. Openly racist lecturers. I regret wasting my money there.
Great university to be at, escpacially for oil and gas studies, its very easy to get a job afterwards.
Positives: beautiful main campus, well-stocked, spacious & awesome library, lecturers seemed professional, passionate & eager to share their own research (in the Archaeology & Anthropology department anyway), course feedback is helpful (though often late), easy to change courses or apply for exchange, loads of interesting societies. Negatives: The city is grey, cold and depressing, personal and mental health support is almost non-existent, Student Union is inactive, very little sense of student community, nothing to do in the city except a few pubs and clubs and a cinema, transport is expensive, no good social spaces for students (even if you're not very social it's nice to have somewhere to hang out between lectures). TLDR: High standard of education, though more theory than practice. Varied societies. Bleak city and lack of social hangouts on and off campus makes it easy to become isolated. I would highly recommend not going here if you have poor mental health/aren't outgoing.
A miserable, tacky, trashy, basic, nouveau-rich hellhole. Aberdeen has to be the world's most depressing city. Unless, you want to have a miserable student life and to develop suicidal toughts, avoid this university at all costs! Aberdeen's weather is on a league of its own. It's excruciatingly cold, dark, rainy and insanely WINDY throughout the whole year. The fact that every single building is Aberdeen is GREY and made out of cold, dour granite, further contributes to inducing the locals into a state of utter despair and depression. Everyone in Aberdeen seems to be either drunk or depressed at all times. No words can quite describe how utterly miserable Aberdeen is during the winter. The whole city is empty and devoid of life as there's very little to do since the city's main avenue is scattered with trahsy one-pound shops and McDonalds. The uni itself is not bad (pretty much a mid-rank uni for average/below-average students). However, the city itself is utterly miserable. Avoid!
