<p>I went to a school where most people didn’t get to the event until about 30 minutes after the event start time. there was rarely a event that had people there when it started like if an event was supposed to start at 6pm if you get there at 6 there would only be 5 people there and it wouldn’t be any fun until most people gt there after about 30 minutes.
I want to know how long it usually take for events to get started at your school. if they get started on time, some time after, or even early.</p>
<p>All 3. Popularity, other events going on, and timing (in regards to academic activities) are the main factors to crowds. </p>
<p>Most events get started a little after the time they were supposed to begin. Everyone assumes that nobody is going to be at an event on time so everybody comes 10 or 15 minutes late.</p>
<p>Well, my school has a lot of different types of events. There are day trips, common hour tabling for clubs, movie night, seminars etc. They tend to start on time but this is not the schools doing, the events are run by organizations. However, I would say that more than 80% of all activities start at 9 so no one is rushing after class (unless you are unlucky enough to have a night class) </p>
<p>It depends on the type of event. </p>
<p>If you have a social type event where most of the activities are based on people doing as they please, the event won’t really be going until about 15 or 30 minutes after the posted time. Sure you will have the on time crowd, but the event really gets populated after the posting time. </p>
<p>If it’s a seminar, luncheon, or showing, people will show up 15 minutes before hand so they are on time and situated because the event WILL start on time and if you’re are late you are not getting in. </p>
<p>At my school, there is a negative correlation between the amount of free food available and the time at which people show up…</p>
