I am asking for advice and opinions about two things here please.

My son has been offered a KPMG consultancy apprenticeship and has been given two weeks to decide if he wants to accept or decline it.

Has anyone you know done an apprenticeship at this company? I know they have a good reputation, but I would like to hear about personal experiences if possible. What are the working conditions for people taking part in the scheme? I assume it’s hard work, but was it rewarding?

Secondly, we are based in London and the apprenticeship is in Bristol. We have never been to Bristol and would appreciate some feedback on what Bristol is like please. He would have to move to Bristol. If he was moving there for university he would be part of a community of students in the same position as him, but he’s nervous about moving there to work as feels he will feel isolated.

He wants to make a decision by tomorrow so he can go back to them, so I would appreciate your thoughts on this, so I can give him different views to help him make a decision.

@lovelthesun247 I would honestly repost this with KPG apprenticeship and Bristol in the title and post on the Higher Education board.

Pressed post by accident, https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/higher_education there are lots of MNetters with children who have lived or are living in Bristol.

You can also go on the Facebook site WIWIKAU (What I Wish I knew About University) and type in apprenticeship and there will be many posts about this - also loads of advice about accommodation in Bristol

My DS is at uni in Bristol. He loves the city.
What I would say is accomodation is very hard to find. Not sure how it works for apprenticeships but get onto sorting accomodation early.
