  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • During the beginning of the placement work load was steady, however as time went on I was given more and more responsibility. Nissan however is a fast paced and busy environment.

    The Culture

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

    • There were 9 placement students, with the majority of us living in a similar area meaning social activities outside work were relatively easy to organise.

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

    • Uxbridge is a London borough so socialising and living was relatively expensive. However being able to get the tube into central London was very easy and relatively cheap with a student railcard.

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

    • Rickmansworth is quiet, however being able to travel to central London expands the opportunities.

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

    • There was a sports and social club with opportunities from paint balling to meals out.
