Hall dinner in UEA why not?

Lately I've just visited a friend who is studying a PhD in Cambridge. Apparently, every week they had a Formal Hall or Formal Meal where students usually dress in formal attire to dine. Formals maybe also special events to which guest from outside the college are frequently invited.

In a number of newer so-called red brick universities (which UEA is one of them), some halls such as those in Manchester, Bristorl, Hull and Exter also practise similar tradition. I think it is a very good way to increase interaction between academics and students, and to enrich the students' overall learning experience.

It is a chance for students to dress smartly (or not), have fine-dining meals (with subsidized rate from the University), and enjoy chatting in a more relaxed environment.

So, Former Hall in UEA, why not???
