    The Culture

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The company is based in Chichester which is an expensive place to live compared to other parts of the UK. However, I was still able to socialise with other interns/colleagues on a regular basis.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • As Chichester is a traditional English town in the countryside there wasn't that much in terms of nightlife. However there was a racecourse nearby which is a good day out as well as Goodwood racing and motorshow events. Portsmouth and Brighton are within travelling distance for clubbing and events are organised in the intern meetings.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were multiple activities to take part in although not many within a short distance of the workplace. If you aew willing to travel however there are endless things to do nearby and Chichester is close to the coast.

    4/5
