    • I really enjoyed the internship - I had opportunities to be involved in lots of fun and engaging projects. The culture at Summit ONE is amazing with flexible working and opportunities to work in London and other areas of the UK. Some interns could travel abroad to Europe.

    The Culture

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

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

    • The cost of living around Farnborough is pretty high. Reading is a good location to live to get student accomodation. Socials/drinks can be expensive.

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

    • Reading nightlife is good as it is a student area. There is also a quick transfer to London from Reading (25 mins) which is good for weekends etc.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The business has sports clubs which anyone can join. This includes yoga, running and football.
