3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

the programme is very enjoyable, you learn a lot and have the chance to meet new people. i would say the main downside to the programme is, the shift patterns, for example; you will do 3-4 weeks of nights and have a routine, then you would get chanmged to days and that ruins your routine.
