2017 Acccomodation booklet

Abertay University, Dundee

Halls of Residence Secure, clean, maintained halls.

Run by caring staff

Introduction For many of you coming to university will be your first time living away from home.

Staying in halls is the perfect place to help you settle in quickly and make new friends.

We have approximately 500 bed spaces across all four of our halls which are either close to or a short stroll from the campus and city centre.

We can offer you: Plenty choice: Room types include bedsits, shared and single rooms in multi-occupancy flats, and a mix of en-suite and shared bathrooms.

Reassurance: You’ll be living in a safe, secure and wellmaintained environment. Our Security team is on hand 24/7 and our caretakers are based on-site. Our team of cleaners regularly clean the shared spaces and bathrooms, en-suite or otherwise, to help keep them spick and span.

A caring eye: With a wealth of experience in the team, we’re here to help and support you during your stay. We’re a friendly bunch, you’ll get to know us quickly and see how much we care about your wellbeing. It’s nice to have someone keep a friendly eye on things and offer help.

Applying Who can apply?

Once your offer to study with Abertay is either Unconditional Firm or Conditional Firm you can apply for halls. Our rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis so do apply as soon as you can.

Allocation priority is given to new students coming to Abertay for the first time (regardless of the year of study) who plan to study full time for the full academic year.

You can state your accommodation preference, and we’ll make every effort to match it as far as availability allows, but it can’t be guaranteed. If you have any special needs and/or requirements, it’s essential you enter the information on the application form.

For full information about applying for accommodation, see the website.
