For my second step of clue, I sat in a public space to observe college life. For my space, I chose the commuter lounge. Being a commuter, I don't know many people or places on campus. I tend to just stick to myself most of the time. On certain days of the week when I have a break between classes, I go here and catch up on homework or relax. While I was there, I noticed some things about the people who walked in..

[I currently do not have access to a scanner or camera to upload the map I drew. I will upload it at a later time.]


 * If there is a group of friends, they tend to stick together in one area.
 * If there is just a single person, they tend to migrate to where there are less people.
 * If someone wants to sit at the table and there are already a few people there, most times they will opt for a seat at least one away from everyone else.
 * Not many people use the coffee maker, microwave or fridge that is provided.
 * If people are hungry, they bring their own food.
 * A lot of people catch up on homework.
 * Some people are brave enough to nap on the couch.
 * Sometimes group meetings are held in the couch area.
 * Some people bring laptops.
 * Everyone seems to be doing something.
 * There is a wide variety of people who come into the room.
 * It is easy to make friends and start a conversation. It happened to me.
 * The giant windows make it hard to sleep because there aren't any curtains.
 * Some people, like myself, seem uncomfortable in the room.
 * While there are three bulletin boards of fliers and advertisements, hardly anyone looks at them.
 * On average, I think most people spend about 20-40 minutes in the room.
 * Some people just come in to use the microwave and leave.
 * Most people ignore the certain trash receptacles.
 * If nobody knows each other, then the room is almost always silent.
 * If there are one or two friends amongst a group of random people, most times they won't whisper but talk at normal volume.
 * There are a lot of friendly people.
 * There are a lot of shy people.
 * There are a lot of people who seem to disregard the fact that other people may be trying to study and cause distractions.
 * Nobody uses the coffee table for food but to prop their feet up on instead.
 * Everyone stares at a new person that walks in the room.
