The Culture
The location is an issue for a student. Either you choose to live in the same area and you need a car (it's the countryside outside of London), or you choose to live in London and you rely on public transport and on the shuttle service of the company. Prices in London are known to be quite high.
It's a small town, so you have to go to London, which is about one hour by the tube.
Sone sport activities like Rugby, some people were also selected to run the London marathon for free.
