Grammar
preposition+relative pronoun
Dear members
"I wrote down the place where (at which) the meeting would be held.
Would you tell us about the holiday when (on which) we will take the day off?
He started working for the institute where (in which) he found many good co-workers.
There used to be the post office where (at which) I visited to send parcels to him.
It reminds me of my childhood when(in which) I waited for my father to give me presents."
When I would like to change the underlined words above to "preposition + relative pronoun" in blankets, are they all correct?
And are there any some preposition changeable instead of ones?
Thanks in advance.

I believe that about 100 years ago when I was in school, the preposition + which was considered more correct. I always hated it, because I thought it sounded stuffy. I still avoid it whenever possible. I do, however, allow for whom in formal writing. [ Come to think of it, it may well be that I just don't like the sound of which. ]
