Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I found it very useful, as there were areas of the industry I was unaware of. It gave me perspective and a view of my future career and an over view of the APC. Being at university does not reflect the industry and the career to be had after graduation, so it was a refreshing and insightful experience.
