    The Culture

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

    • Met some great people there- at one point there is 60 students there helping with the handover. High Wycombe is a bit rubbish though but there are some nice surounding areas.

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

    • Although High Wycombe is pretty cheap for how close it is to London it was still more expensive to live than uni, but i think this is the case with most placements.

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

    • High Wycombe was pretty rubbish but there are some really nice places you can go further afield like Windsor, Reading, Marlow, Henley, Oxford and London.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Being a big town there was plenty to get involved with and there was also a sports and social club that offered a gym membership and social events to raise money for charity.
