    The Culture

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

    • Although it is in Swindon there are quite a few social events and the intern community organise loads of nights out. There are 60 interns so it's pretty good as there are always people up for it.

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

    • Rent is much cheaper than Uni with some very nice houses available, going out is not that bad on a student night but otherwise quite expensive. (This isn't an issue as Thursday/Saturday are the best nights anyway)

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

    • It's Swindon so not ideal, but the nights can be a good laugh.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • So many different opportunities to get involved with. Intel are very keen on volunteering and there are many committees which are available to get involved in. Sport is a MASSIVE thing at Intel too. Big plus for anyone keen on sport.

    5/5
