    The Culture

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

    • the social scene was good however a flaw of this is that everybody gossips about what happens on intern nights out, which makes for hard balance of work and social when your social life gets brought into work. less interns would mean less of this happening

    • I lived at home but reading nights out are not too expensive

    3/5

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

    • we all socialised together outside of work and there were many charity opportunities to volunteer

    4/5
