    2/5

    • No - this was not mentioned

    1/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes - Being from a london university it was easy to get to and well worth the travel especially as it was reimbursed. For one day they could not have packed anything else into it to make it more worth while.
