#thehangout

Map ( I tried )

The location I chose was Morgan States Tyler hall quad. It's located right in front of my dorm building Cummings. I was drawn to this location because I believe the most social activity happens here. Each night college students hang out and chill in this area. Some students just sit and listen to music through their speakers and others race on the scooters available on campus. I even found out that some people who hang out in this area possibly do not even attend the university. One thing that I never noticed before is that everyone is divided into different groups. Everyone does not socialize together;  they socialize in cliques. On the other hand, one thing that is expected is more trash cans. I noticed that there are large decorative ornaments that resemble trash cans but are not. Another thing that might be expected is more charging outlets given the popularity of the area. In terms of COVID-19, this social area negatively impacts the progress of controlling the virus. People are being irresponsible by not keeping proper distance or wearing masks. I avoid hanging out in this area simply because of COVID-19. My friends and I try our best to avoid large crowds, however, that can be very difficult here on campus. Altogether , I believe this particular spot on campus was a perfect location for this assignment due to the frequent social encounters that happen here .
