Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoy my placement a lot as there is something new to work on every single week. Sometimes things are a bit slow as we have to rely on other people to further guide us through a project, which can take time as people are busy but when the project advances and the work picks up, it becomes quite intense for a few days which I enjoy as I like challenges.
