My name is Navin! I am from a faraway land right in the heart of South East Asia – Singapore. Singapore is a fine country with good Schools, Universities and great quality of life. As such, it was not an easy choice for me to choose Dundee as my tertiary institution. For one, the temperature […]
Saturday the 31st of August 2013 was the day I made The Big Move- a day which many of you may be experiencing this weekend. I actually don’t remember much from the actual day which is a little sad as it’s probably one of the most important days of my life so far. I do […]
Hey there! My name is Natasha and I am studying Primary Teaching at the University of Dundee. Today is my first day living in my new flat, in a new city, surrounded by new people. Last night I drove from my home town up to Dundee with my lovely big sister having had to say […]
Hello, Scotland! It has been a whirlwind five days since landing at the airport in Edinburgh, chalk full of massive jet lag, slightly manic-styled over-tiredness, errands, errands, and oh! more errands!

I have a series of vivid memories from high school that revolve around seemingly endless meetings with my guidance teacher in that foul smelling office. In most of them, she is urging me to apply for halls. Of course, this was ridiculous. As someone who already lives a brief ten-minute bus ride from the city […]
So. Much. To. Do. Those four words echo through my head every morning as soon as I hear that buzz roar on my nightstand. The alarm clock on my cellphone interrupts my dreams buzzing loudly as if to remind me, “You haven’t applied for your Visa yet! Did you forget how important that is?” Or […]
For all you new freshers out there, you now just have over a month left before heading to Dundee! That’s exciting isn’t it? However I can completely understand if this is a bit overwhelming too… I remember this time last year I was going a bit crazy, as there was just so much to do! […]
Hey guys, my name is Simran and I am an international student who is a hybrid Indian by ethnicity but I grew up in the barren lands of the nomads- Oman. Now I am pretty sure most of you don’t know where Oman is, so let me give you a quick geography lesson. Oman is […]
