Supervisions and Tutorials
They aren't the same thing are they? which is done in your college or are they both college based? how much time do they take up?
and of course supervision sounds better

I dunno then. That's what all my supervisors use. Maybe it's a music faculty thing.

supervisions sometimes take place in college, sometimes take place out of college, sometimes take place in the pub.
A buttery is just a canteen. Ooh and my favourite cambridge term, mlodge - master's lodge. "I've got drinks with the master in the mlodge tonight..."

formals = formal hall = posh dinner in gowns
mums = female college parent (ie.. some 2nd year girl told to look after you)
plodge = porter's lodge (where porters live)
buttery = somewhere that sells drinks + butter
comprehensive list found http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/article.php?a=193

Occasionally, yes. Alas, all too rarely (I've only done it once)
Doesn't make for a hugely effective supervision (although in our case that may have been because our friends followed us to the pub and were waving at us all through the supervision).homoterror
