Hi everyone, I've just started a full-time PhD in the Social Sciences and the working arrangements are different to my expectations. I was envisaging coming into the office for meetings, lectures and supervisions - so a couple of times a week. However there seems to be an expectation that I will be there every day. I find it really difficult to concentrate in an office where other people are coming and going and talking so I would much rather work from my own study space at home or the library when I'm doing research or writing. I'd be really grateful for any advice about how much say I should have about where I work?
