The Buttery
"In First Court, what we call the Buttery (an old word) is a café during the day and a bar in the evening, so it's one of the main social areas in College and a source of sandwiches, snacks and pastries outside of canteen meal times. The team make everyone welcome, and the café is subsidised and so cheaper to use than the equivalent coffee shops in town."

Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Graduation, Dating, Engagements, Weddings, Births & Obituaries
Pairing young people with a lifetime bond may be the most enduring reason for educational settlements to exist; and one that has received subtle disregard by higher education administrators and marketers of the "college experience".
