 * Columbia 2nd Floor Lounge**

When reading **//My Freshman Year//**, Nathan mentioned that the lounge was a place //"to get away"//. Of course I have used the lounge to get away from the distractions in order to study, complete projects, and do homework but I have also used it to have hall meetings, birthday parties, super bowl parties, for craft projects, to watch movies with friends, play games or even to eat lunch with a group of friends. I now want to see how other people use this space and why they decided to come here.





**I felt that sitting in the lounge for a half hour wouldn't allow me to collect enough data. So instead I decided to walk past my floor lounge almost every hour starting at 1pm and ending at 9pm for two days to see what information I can collect.**   **From the data collected below you can see that students use the lounge for a variety of things. They also come to the lounge for many reasons. In addition I found the lounge to be rather empty. For the most part usually one student had the lounge to themselves or there was a small group studying together. ** 2&3 – Studying for math together || 1 – Roommate is skyping 2&3 – More room to spread out papers, and quiet || 2&3 – Studying 4 – Homework || 2&3 – One girl was from another dorm, decided to meet in Columbia Lounge 4 – Concentrate || 2&3 – Studying/Homework || All three said they came to the lounge because of less distractions || Back
