Really enjoyed it and found it an extremely valuable experience. Everyone was lovely and made me feel very welcome.

★★★★★★★★★★

She was constantly on hand to help and even did us a review and called to check we were ok on her annual holiday. She always looked out for other opportunities for us.

Other Information

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Even though I was at a client site 4 days a week, met all the other interns and didn't feel I missed out. Always pub on a Friday after the office. The first two days on a residential was good to meet all the other interns before the office work started.

13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 4/10

Expensive as it was in London.

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

London has a lot to offer.

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

★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 5/10

Other than socialising, not really. But I didn't feel more was needed.

In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

Overall a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone to get a feel of what the company and job has to offer.
