    • yes very much, we became very good friends and spend the weekends relaxing from the hard work of the placement

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

    • Daventry for me wasn't as cheap as I hoped it would be, but for the pay you get from your placement its perfectly affordable

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Daventry is a small town which I think could use some renovation and needs a train station , there are buses but the night life is quite, if there is any!

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Cummis have a collaboration with stem ambassadors and schools where they send employees to represent the company at school career fairs and university recruitment fairs, and these activities were plentiful , even if you missed one, there is always a second one!
