It’s that time of the year when we start to look back and see what we have done or learnt in the past few months. As for me, these past few months were like a thrill packed roller coaster ride. I did a lot, met a lot of people, studied a lot, memorized a lot […]
ATTN: Every single American to ever become a student of University of Dundee. And I’m only speaking exclusively to Americans because I barely know how the rules relate to my own country (hence the pickle I was in), much less how the rules relate to any other country. On September 13, 2016 I moved to […]
Last Thursday the second year fine art students had a get together in the level 2 studio corridors to show off what they had achieved so far this semester. The corridor was converted into a gallery complete with drinks, snacks and posters around DJCAD inviting others to come and see the work produced so far. […]
As a medical student, what better day to share about than the day we had our first formative assessment. To begin with, a formative assessment is a test which we sit for to test ourselves on how much we know and don’t know; it is not counted into our final grade, so it’s a conducive […]
As an International student, one the many problems you will face is home sickness! I come from Singapore, where the population density is slightly more than 7900 per square kilometre (that’s the third highest in the world) compared to UK which is only about 65 per square kilometre!

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I promised to post a packing guide so with about 10 days to go here it goes! I hope someone will find this helpful. 🙂 First and probably the most important thing is DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Leaving packing for the last day is a very bad idea. Trust me I know, I’ve done it before […]
