  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given guidance whenever it was needed. I was told by everyone that there are no such things as ''silly questions" from day 1. I was also told what they were expecting from me.

    The Culture

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

    • Only 2 interns worked in Sunderland over the summer. The other colleagues all lived quite far away so I had no social life whatsoever.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Sunderland is a cheap city.

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

    • Did not get to go out due to the reasons explained above.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There weren't that many in Sunderland. Derby and Bristol offer a lot more opportunities.
