    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There was a very good social scene amongst other placement students, as we often spent our lunchtimes together as well as having the odd evening or night out.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of living was fairly expensive for the quality, I believe that is to do with the fact that the town is Close to London and is also seen as a commuter town, where many people stay during the week to work in the offices.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The nightlife was not great, there are a few decent pubs in Maidenhead however it's not what I would call nightlife. However Reading is Close by which has a very good nightlife and we went there quite a few times. London is also fairly close if that takes your fancy.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • We had a dedicated team that worked on either providing volunteering activities outside of work or for other activities such as sports camps. We even went to the Windsor races for one evening.

    5/5
