General University Area Updates and Rumours

[plam]

I convocated at 1) Place des Arts; 2) the Bell Centre (not sure that's the best) and on the lawn just below the Great Dome in Cambridge, MA. The lawn is great if it doesn't rain. Place des Arts was appropriate, I thought, but maybe it's too expensive or something. McGill now does it in a big tent on the lawn.

I've never been to a school with a dedicated convocation hall, so it's a bit hard for me to imagine what the room is otherwise good for.

I've been to my share of convocations in the PAC and it doesn't seem so bad to me.
