Generally I was given all the support I needed and if it wasn't there, I could ask and it was quickly put in place.

I like to be busy but sometimes I felt very rushed. There was always work to be getting on with.

I was given a lot more responsibility than I expected which I was really pleased with, but I was never given so much that it worried me.

The Culture
This was really good, we all got on well

It was not cheap, however it was not too overpriced. It is more expensive than living at university but as you are getting paid this is not as much of a problem

It was good, there were plenty of places to go out in the surrounding area.

There are activities in the surrounding area if you go looking for them
