we have many opportunities to get a job after graduation. Being valued by the company I feel that there is a real chance to come back after my studies.
The Culture
It was a good social environment amongst all my colleagues and placement students
Living cost is quite cheap in Luton compared to bigger cities like London or Birmingham. Unfortunately, there isn't enough places for going out and socialising.
Nightlife in Luton is quite poor. There are only two ecent nightclubs and few bars.
I had a chance to joing a gym, various sport clubs and etc.
