  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social scene was good but it is self initiated - you have to champion setting up socials etc rather than the company organising things.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • We were lucky and managed to find a cheaper place to rent - travel was a bit steep so we car pooled to save some money. We loved 25mins to Waterloo which was great! One of the other placement students wrote a where to live guide to help new students get to grips with the different areas!

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

    • I was based in leatherhead but lived closer to London - leatherhead is good for a pub drink after work but not much more.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Only if you sort it out yourself.
