Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
my work load was lighter than I would have preferred. I like to keep busy but there wasn't enough for me to do so I often found myself idol.
I had a really lovely team, sometime I felt left out from the team but I guess thats because they've known each other way before I came.
This placement met my expectations.
I would come back.
