    • Pretty laid back and exciting

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Little attention given to interns individual interests/goals from what i could see because as previously stated, interns were like a department in themselves, so needed little involvement with other staff.

    3/5

    • I would love to be part of such a sophisticated, creative publication.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • possibly quite cliquey but on the whole - friendly!

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

    • No more than my normal expenses as they provided an oyster card when we returning samples.

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

    • Central London is of course expensive but worth it

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

    • Possibly to assist on shoots etc outside of the week, but i was not there long enough to gain this privilege.
