    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There are roughly 16 palcement students within PSA Peugeot Citroen and it has really made the year. Great friends who I have a lot of fun and banter with.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Pretty cheap, I found a cheap room to rent with some uni friends, Coventry is really cheap to go out in and if you have a railcard, Birmingham is a cheap and short train ride away

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Coventry is a fun night out but not quite on the same level as some of the bigger cities. However, it is really easy to get to Birmingham/London by Car/train if you wanted to.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There is a socail comittee that organises events outside of work and collegues organise weekly ffotball games. Once you get to know people in the office, you'll generally find a group that does something regularly that you are interested in.

    4/5
