Some suit-type individual stood at the front of the conference room, waiting for the general hubbub of the room to subside before speaking.

Most of them are students so they enjoy the rather cheap rent and the somewhat secluded place where they can party anytime without having to worry about the neighbours. Don't get me wrong: It's not a place with a nonstop party -- they all have to...
