    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The location isn't great, there's very little to do in Swindon. However the company is great and if I were to return I would relocate nearer to Bristol and commute.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It could be better. Naturally people found their own friendship groups and the big get togethers fell apart. However there was a trip to Amsterdam which was one of the best holidays ever.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • There's a broad range in Swindon, anywhere between £225-450/mo. Nights out aren't that expensive but the clubs are rubbish and not worth going to.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Awful. There's 3 places to go in Swindon and they're all run of the mill boring clubs playing pop music with no character. A lot of people travel to Bournemouth and Bristol for weekend nights out.

    0/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Opportunities are there but i'm happy with my workload and wouldn't want to take on more.
