University of Aberdeen

Hi guys! I’ve never done this before but I am in dire need of help. I am from America and applying to a couple universities abroad, one of which happens to be University of Aberdeen. The only issue is that I’ve been getting a lot of mixed reviews about the college and surrounding area. I was hoping some of you guys could tell me about the area and if I can have a good balance between the university and Aberdeen itself. While I want to spend most of my time studying I don’t love being confined to the university for all 4 years so I just want to make sure the surrounding area is also nice and wont make me go crazy. Thank you!!
