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

    • There are many different themed clubs and bars and so there is something for almost anyone. The bars are pretty cheap for a UK city and the city is filled with friendly people.

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

    • We had the opportunity to go to the races with the whole office as well as an office quiz on our last day. These experiences were really enjoyable and gave us the opportunity to learn more about how our colleagues are outside of their work.
