    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Working in London there is always good social opportunities. However I feel as a department we could have become more involved with social activities.

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

    • Certainly isn't cheap (rent in London/travel from outside London) but things such as food and drink are ok if you hunt around. 2 courses and a pint for a tenner (Big Easy) isn't too bad.

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

    • Covent Garden round the corner is good

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

    • Whatever you fancy!
