    The Culture

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

    • some were very worried to go for drinks to make sure they were fresh for work the next day. I thought more could have been done to assist this. Friends on similar schemes in london during the same month seemed to have a better social scene among their intern groups.
