There was over 90 placement students, and lots of us moved down to Luton so we were out every week and all lived near each other.

Not London prices :) But placement students often travelled to other cities/town together socould get expensive.

Not much to chose from in Luton, but we made the most of it. Plus we went to other cities etc quite often so it wasn't bad.

After coming back to uni and speaking to my peers, I have yet to find someone who has had the level of responsibility that I received and the fantastic social life. This placement year was one of the best years of my life :) !!
