    The Culture

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

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

    • Travelling to Roke can be expensive, as its remote, but there's a free shuttle to the station, and all the food is subsidized, and drinks vending machines are free.

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

    • The nearest village to Roke - Romsey - is tiny, and has nothing in the way of nightlife. Despite this, quite a few students live in the Southampton area, and so they went out on fridays.

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

    • There was lots going on, regular games in a rounders tournament, table tennis, snooker, a gym, rock climbing after work in Southampton and more.
