I recently joined the uni as an academic. My favourite place to work has always been coffee shops. I like a bit of noise/bustle, good seating, stable wifi, and of course wall-plugs. What are some of the best coffee shops around central Oxford for this?

So far I checked out Society (wasn't quite convinced and I can't really explain why), Cafe Nero in Blackwells (very nice), and a few farther afield like Green Routes Cafe in Cowley area. Looking for suggestions!

I want to go punting with my friends after matriculation, but as you probably know, it’s first come first serve with no reservations (at least for Magdalen Bridge) and the most popular day of the year. I have a lunch until 2:30, so I won’t be able to go down straight after my ceremony. If I wanted to punt at 3 do you think it’d be too competitive at that point, or have you had success with similar times in the past?

My college lib has turned on the heating which makes in a muggy furnace that I can barely study in. What libraries are there that remain consistently on the cool/cold side? Thanks.
