Page 92 Question 1

Well most of the classrooms i have been in have been very empty rooms. There is no decorations at all. There is no inviting feeling in the rooms, it actually makes me nervous and a little bit uncomfortable to be in the room. The "common sense" of the room is that we can not have fun. We are in college now, time to get serious. We cant have visual aids, like posters, pictures, or quotes up because it might distract us from our teacher lecturing. I personally think it would be better if we could have some visual stimulation and to have a warm environment. I wouldnt be so nervous and skeptical about going to class than. I think that the classes are also very long. About 2 hrs and 50 minutes. They cram so much information in one session that by the time i get back home ive forgotten everything i just learned and have to look over notes. They layout of this school is very confusing. We dont have a centralized campus and all of our buildings are very spaced out. Seems like Columbia is trying to keep us from socalizing and focusing us on our school work. When i first started, and still to this day i feel like it is hard to meet people because we dont have a place to go and socalize with fellow students.
