    The Culture

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

    • As interns we have all gotten on really well, often meeting for lunch and after work drinks. I will be keeping in contact with many of the other interns.

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

    • I am lucky enough to live in London so the cost of living didn't affect me too much. In terms of socialising, London is expensive but it is something you quickly get used to,

    4/5

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

    • Many opportunities. I took part in playing for the Savills Hockey team which I really enjoyed and also took part in the auction. The auction was very interesting and it was great to see another part of the business.
