    The Culture

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

    • No theres not many placement students locally here at Wimborne so it was poor in those aspects but some people at work it was fun and great to hang around with but they were older than me and had more commitments so it can be difficult

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

    • Cheap place to live being with lodgers but I snookered myself living in Wimborne as there is not a lot to do for a 20 year old if I could change it I would have moved to bournemouth but I just didnt know the area well at all before I came down. So this was a difficult decision to make and once I found a place I had to stick with it
