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

    • Rent was fairly cheap, only being 340 pounds including bills. Going out in luton is also very cheap!

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

    • Luton is a funny night out, but not much going on there. However London is only half an hour or so on the train which is great and we also have harpenden and St.Albans near by which are also decent. Watford is also close, so lots of oppurtunities to go out in different places. London being my favourite.

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

    • There are some oppurtunities to get invloved in activites. Charity events are big at Vauxhall and i got to take part in london to brighton with the Vauxhall team
