  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    The Culture

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

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

    • The office I was in is close to London, so living costs are generally quite high. Socialising costs are probably about average - what I would expect.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Busy town with quite a good nightlife.

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

    • As I was only there for 6 weeks there wasn't much opportunity to get involved, but in general there are many opportunities for activities outside of work.
