Belmont Flats
If you’re looking to live on the University of Dundee’s city campus, check out Belmont Flats. It’s in the perfect place if you’re the type to roll out of bed just before your lecture starts.

For the premier room, it’s £230.74. The only drawback is that there isn’t a common room in the halls to hang out with students from other flats. But the kitchen and lounge space is large so you can easily have your friends around.

Studios are made for those who hate the idea of sharing their space with flatmates. Obviously this luxury comes at a cost. The price per week starts at £199, which is expensive. But this includes a double bed, a kitchenette, desk, and dining space. Communally, there’s a gym, study spaces, and a cinema. It’s definitely on the fancier end of the spectrum, but all the amenities and the close location to campus means it has earned its place on our list of the best student accommodations in Dundee.
