    The Culture

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

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

    • Fairly expensive, taking into account thye accmomodation etc. However the salary more than covers all of the costs I encountered, and at the end of the day I was not on a placement to make money I was there to gain valuable experience, which I did.

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

    • The place where I am based is a small market town, therefore the nightlife isn't great, but this would not put me off the placement at all.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are both social activites and also volunteering opportunities to get involved in.
