Way beack when I was in seminary we were expected to meet together for 
the daily office and eucharist, generally in chapel but once a week we 
were in tutorial groups.  At one stage Thursday Evening Prayer was in 
the place across the green - Salisbury Cathedral where all three were 
available regularly.  I believe the practice of saying the office 
together while in seminary is good, not least because it gives the 
students the experience of leading corporate worship.
