    The Culture

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

    • The other interns all socialised/lived together and regularly went out, although I rarely went with them as i was living with friends who didn't work at WB and prefferred to spend time with them.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • My rent was a lot more than I thought it would be, and being in Zone 3 meant my travel was also expensive to get to central London. Socialising was also expensive, an average night out would cost around £80.

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

    • As I worked near Covent Garden there was a lot going on near where I worked, sadly it was too expensive for my intern budget!

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I attended a few premieres and events such as the Batman Live show which was always really exciting.
