[  Answers to my questions about what building the seminar is in  ]

Thanks for the info.  Now, I have one or two other questions ...

> TIME:          3:30-5:30 PM

Do UW seminars *really* last two hours, or is part of this time allocated
to pre- and/or post-seminar coffee/cookies/whatever?

Also, do they tend to start at the advertised time?  UofT has a curious
tradition of beginning at least five (and usually ten (or more)) minutes
after the posted time.  Nearly everyone is aware of this, so most people
don't even bother arriving until at least five minutes or so after the
seminar is advertised to begin, leaving those who aren't in the know (and
who therefore arrive a few minutes *before* the posted time) to sit around
reading, sleeping, or staring at the walls.

Does UW do the same thing, or do things begin when they're alleged to begin?
