| Graduation Ceremonies
Any idea how long these tend to last? I need to book a table for my meal afterwards so need an idea of what time to go for.

Depends on the department and how big the department is, I *think* mine was about an hour, maybe more, I can't really remember...
SO really I'm no help!

Mine went on for roughly 90 mins, all in. Law school might be a bit longer though, being a massive subject. I'd give it 2 clear hours, to be safe, esp if you have a reception after it.

| Re: Graduation Ceremonies
Mine was about two hours I think but I don't really remember it clearly; I spent the whole time thinking
mustn't trip … … are they gonna say "not really, get outta here" when I go up? … … mustn't trip
so the passage of time was a little distorted.
A very good feeling, all in all though.
