    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • There was a good social scene, indeed. A lot of the interns including me went to several nights out which was amazing. I really enjoyed it. The whole internship was great because I met so many new people and created an invaluable network of people - not only from the interns.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of living and socialising is not so bad. I am a Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ here so I am quite used to the prices in the city but I would say it is not very cheap to go out too often. Also, it depends on the area you live in. Some areas have cheaper flats than others. It really depends on the flat and the area you live in.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The nightlife is great. The city is quite big so there are a lot of clubs here. The company is situated in the city centre so there were some internship events that happened straight after work. If you are an outgoing person that likes to go to clubs you will definitely enjoy it.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Definitely!
