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

    • The cost of living/socialising in london is always going to be expensive, but didn't prove to be as pricey as I thought! I have always lived in london so there was no shock at prices.

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

    • The nightlife was great, it was in between 2 major tourist areas that had lots of bars, as well as a club almost next to the office. The bars and restaurants around the area were great too.n

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

    • There were a few opportunities, but due to the short amount of time an internship is, there was not as much. However we were made aware of the opportunities that are usually available to full time colleagues.
