The courtyard is a very popular place for students and staff. The big fountain is the center hot point of the courtyard with steps here and there, tables, chairs, and lots of bushes surrounding it, as well as tents for advertisement. There’s siding of buildings that come out a little far and provide shade for students from the blaring and burning sun. As well as posters and flyers everywhere for advertisement.

The courtyard in general is designated for students, either to study, converse, or advertise news for the school. The fountain allows a sense of calmness and tranquility. The tables and chairs for students lure them in to do homework, or just to sit down and take a break. Everyone outside scrambles like ants to sit down so the cement blocks coming out from where the many bushes are allows many more seats, as to why they were built that way. The awnings made are for the students seeking away from the sun, as it’s always hot in Georgia.

There’s such a diverse population at Georgia state, in the courtyard. A group of smokers stay off to the side, smoking their cigarettes, letting the smoke fill the air. There’s tents filled with people advertising part time job openeings for students. There’s people in the chairs, in front of the bushes, eating a sandwhich, listening to music, or completing an assignment. And as I people watch, there is people, people watching themselves to others.

The students occupy this space because either they’re passing by time before their next class, or either they got to class a little early, or class just ended. The courtyard is an easy cut through for students or staff, traveling to another building right beside each other. The girls yelling dollar donuts know students are hungry in the morning and need a bite to each on the way to class quickly and cost friendly. The tent advertisers know students are in need for a job and need help with college tuition, as to why they advertise in such a student crowded area. The courtyard is a very adventurous place to observe, be, and to interact.
