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

    • The area I worked in was the outskirts of Bristol and there were not so many things around, and hence was cheaper to live there than the city center...One room in a shared accomodation was arond 400-500 pounds per month I found public transport expensive for the value-money relation. The city has plenty of options to socialize and many of them wasnt very expensive.

    • Yes, at work we were motivated to become stem ambassadors and take part in community projects sponsored by Rolls Royce. In addition, there is an association in which young people of the company organizes sports and social events.
