It's one reason why we always set our students out and about to see where learning was actually happening around the university - and in reading weeks, rather than the reward being not to come in, we would be in the canteen - happy to meet with them informally ... #LTHEChat

Q1. In the Common Room. Included inter-cohort chat. It was somewhere to go between classes, make coffee, chat, pop down to the Strand for doughnuts and chat some more. But only about a 20 student annual intake, so common room feasible. #LTHEChat

Q2 - When students leave as soon as class ends, what explanations do we reach for first, and what might we be missing?

Having a lab partner that varied, it started with what we meant to do, then subject and then moved on to more informal, non-course-related things :-) #LTHEchat

A1 #LTHEchat also worth mentioning that as a postgraduate with me & peers living away from the uni quite a few worthwhile conversations took place when visiting each others' homes

Hope it's still warm though #LTHEchat

thanks Sue, finally free on a Wednesday night #LTHEchat

A1 #LTHEchat realistically in a popular pub close to the University of London's main premises, so not far from Birkbeck, Senate House, etc, & as I've mentioned before in this forum in the café attached to a nice furniture shop where a few of us met at weekends

Wonderful to have you here Sheila #LTHEchat

A1 From a settling in perspective, it was the breaks between classes when I got to know my peers and we built that trust to ask questions and share any concerns. #LTHEchat

#LTHEChat A1 The conversations that mattered the most took place in the canteen. I would camp there for hours - and my friends would come and go - we would talk and talk... (the library was across the stair well, so I would occasionally pop in there to grab an offprint to read...

A1 in the cafe and in labs #LTHEchat

A1 - in the spaces and places outside formal lecture theatre/classroom #LTHEchat

#LTHEChat I think I can actually join live tonight!! Hallo, Sandra, working from a caravan in Kent...

Hoping the warm weather makes it to the weekend! #LTHEchat

Hi Sue -joining you from Glasgow #LTHEchat

Turned a bit blustery in Dublin! #LTHEchat

Q1 - Think back to when you were a student. Where did the conversations that mattered most happen?
