    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I enjoyed it a fair amount, i learnt a great deal and liked my team a lot. The social side was more challenging with few chances to meet other interns, so I really had to put myself out there, but I found a few close friends. (i am in the minority here as i am the only intern in my team, most have 2 or 3 interns and work closely to other teams with interns)

  • go to the few intern events that will be organised early on, cause when everyone knows a few people these social events where you meet others will completely stop
