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

    • There are constant meetings and opportunities with management to discuss your progress and what you aim to achieve. These meetings definitely help organise what you look to get involve with while on your internship.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social scene is organised mainly by the interns. We go play football together and organise night out by ourselves

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London accomodation is expensive. Don't expect to make a lot of savings if any at all. Socialising in local clubs and bars is where a lot of money can be spent, but there are cheap ways to get around these things.

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

    • Hammersmith is okay for catching a drink, but your only 30 mins away on the tube from all the nicest clubs, bars, pubs and resteraunts.

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

    • As part of the Intern group we created activities for ourselves, however Disney tends not to set anything up.
