The Role
It was enjoyable but also challenging.
Everyone was really friendly and was happy to help me.
My manager was really up to scratch on organising things for me to do, making sure I had everything I needed and checking I was getting on OK.
There was always things for me to do when out of the office but not so much on the days I was in the office.
I was given more responsibility than I expected.
The skills I developed won't help much in my degree (as they are not applicable) but will definitely help in my future career.
The Company
Was a bit quiet at times with lots of people out on jobs.
There was good training and a lot of work organised for me.
I feel that put a lot of time and effort in to me.

There was 30 interns and we all got on really well and will keep in contact.
No different than at home.
