    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • We were really good as a group. I believe training did make us closer and helped us to develop friendships. In addition, we had a weekly trading game which not only made us work but also made us closer.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is quite expensive, but worth it!

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Parlour is a must! Beside that, we didn't go out in Canary Wharf, we preferred other areas as they are more interesting in terms of clubs.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty of them! Gym, events, social gatherings, charity... Every week there would be something new organized. Or if you wanted something outside the list, you could always ask and make it happen, people were very open for it.
