    • Rent is higher here than at university mainly due to being closer to London. Pub prices seem to be quite similar to at university (when it's not a student night).

    • The office takes part in a triathlon in Septmeber which is suppoerted by the majority of the office. There are not many more social activities except the Christmas party.
