    The Culture

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

    • Given that scheme was only a week long, we did not have that much time to socialise after work aside from the organised events (2 - they were very good fun), but we would try to see each other for lunch if possible.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Central London is very expensive.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The plus side to working in central London - lots of pubs.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I am sure that there were many opportunities but there wasn't much time to deviate from work over the course of a week!
