    The Culture

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

    • There's money behind the bar and kareoke sessions amongst other great evenings!

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

    • Everything is paid for.

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

    • You stay within the hotel as it's quite far away from any 'real' nightlife but you make up for the lack of the typical night out!

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

    • There's not really any 'work' it's all development, but you have some downtime and have free reigns over all the hotel facilities.
