Even though the idea of ‘quiet period’ has long been a running-joke, albeit one that students can get a double fine for disrupting, Michaela Masci’s letter (see letters, below) has evoked fond memories of days gone by.<\/span><\/p>\n

subtext 52 (6\/5\/09): ‘Despite it being the ‘quiet period’ within college residences, a private wedding reception was booked into Pendle College Bar for Saturday 18th April. Unfortunately, the event deteriorated into a brawl by the end of the evening.’<\/span><\/p>\n

subtext 105 (16\/5\/13): ‘… such building work might better have been reserved for, oooh, say, any of the 48 weeks of the year which are not officially designated \u2013 by the University \u2013 as ‘Quiet Weeks’ for revision…’<\/span><\/p>\n

subtext 119 (8\/5\/14): ‘The helpdesk contact details should be particularly useful for those who live in County Main, where once again there is substantial (and noisy) building work taking place in the so-called ‘Quiet Weeks’.’<\/span><\/p>\n

subtext 134 (28\/5\/15): ‘\u2026 once again Facilities are stressing the urgency of building works continuing, quiet period or no quiet period. Many students will no doubt feel a great deal of resentment at their liability to receive a hefty fine from their Dean for noise, while those pesky lawnmowers and multi-million pound building projects get off scot free.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Subtext 149 (9\/6\/16): ‘Last week saw the official opening of the new University Library, an event joyously celebrated by the University’s great and good. [Students were] presumably wondering why a fairly noisy event was taking place in the quietest part of campus during its busiest period. If students party on campus during exam ‘Quiet Period’ they’re treated to a double fine by the deanery. Not that we’d suggest any double standards are at play.’<\/span><\/p>\n
