iQ Parker House, Dundee

Pam, Tricia the Patrici, Jordan, Jordon , Isla the Elia, Esi the Finland, Big Jo and Ma man da G man made me feel home in a land so strange to me. They were there for everytime of my need. Parker House has become the cradle that I grew myself as a Uni student and a self independent student and thats all thanks to them. Huge shout to Sam, Olek and samran to make me feel safe and secure. Im gonna miss this place and this experience for all my life.

Good student accommodation with secure entry gates. Just a couple of minutes to Abertay University, which is diagonally across the road. There are various grades of accommodation and you can be in flats of 5 or 7. Each "flat" has a communal kitchen with TV lounge. In the kitchen you get a shelf in a fridge and a shelf in the freezer. You also get a wall cupboard. A drawer and a cupboard under the worktop. So, you have lots of storage for food. In the Bronze and Silver bedrooms you also have an under bed storage space where you could put other food items. Each room also has a wardrobe, a bookcase, an open desk with three drawers at one end, and finally, there are three shelves on the wall. Each of the individual rooms is off a common corridor and are ensuite. You get an electronic tag on a lanyard to open exterior and interior doors. There's a gym and laundry room in block A. The electronic tag on the lanyard lets you access your own block and block A. For the laundry machines, you use a card or app which you need to load money on to. Wifi is available throughout the building. It's fast and if you only need it for two devices it's free. More than 2 devices cost extra, as does cloud storage, but you probably don't need it. Make sure your child lets you know when booking for the following year opens because with my son, we could have got a discount and the cheaper room had he told us. Of course, it could have been a clever ploy to get a Silver room instead of a Bronze. When booking, if you want a view of the town rather than the carpark, you can ask for a room at the side facing the roundabout. However, a room on the front of the building will be noisier due to traffic. There's a convenience store, Tesco Express, and Lidl close by, as well as Poundstretcher. When moving your child into the accommodation, you only get 20-minute parking, but they provide trollies to help. Once you've dropped off all the luggage, take your car to Bell Street multi-storey carpark, with is across the road. At the weekends, it's £3 all day, and it's open until 8pm.

Great accommodation for Abertay University students. 5 minutes walk from Uni and the city.
