I do like how detailed your notes are. I feel like I am seeing what you are stating. However I am not seeing any purposes of the area. Even though the purpose is evident some might not see the purpose stating the purpose of the area might help people understand the area more. I am seeing it purely as a social place as an initial view. However, I do like your notes on the girls judging other girls I find that amusing because I see that often too. From your notes I am seeing that in the afternoon it is more crowded while in the earlier times it is not as crowded. Are there more fraternities that sororities around or is it vice vresa? From this I am now seeing that this place is not only a social place but also a religious and political place.
