The daily routine
- On weekdays, breakfast is served from 8am-9am, lunch at 12.45pm and dinner at 6pm. There are coffee breaks at 11am and 3.30pm.
- On Saturday, breakfast and lunch are as usual; dinner will be at 7pm to give you a chance to go for a decent walk after lunch. (There are no lectures or tutorials on Saturday afternoon).
- Sunday is a completely free day! Therefore, breakfast will be at 9am, at which a packed lunch will be provided for you to take away. We will see you again for dinner at 7pm. Traditionally, many students go for a long walk on the free Sunday.
- Lectures and tutorials take place as shown on the schedule below.
- The gap between lunch and the afternoon lecture may be used to work on the problem sets.
