A Georgia state student Jasmine nelson feel as if the GSU courtyard is a place that bring students together to help them do homework and to meet new people. Another Georgia state student Vernard Kennedy feel as “if people can voice their opinion in the GSU quad and it is good for marketing your business.” A Georgia state student Erico Corbett feel as if “As a Georgia state students it is a good place to socialize and meet new people with the same intentions as you.”
I interviewed my fellow Georgia state students and I believed that each students have their own personal opinions about the GSU quad and I feel like every opinion counts.I agree with my three interviews because the only time that this special connections happens is only when it is homecoming week and everyone is celebrating in the court yard with different activities, step shows and adverting different ideas.
“The Georgia state university plaza divides students into groups and separates them from the GSU theme of an inclusive campus. The plaza space is divided by stairs,ramps, and sections blocked of by concrete. On an average day you can find most people who smoke sit together in a self designated smoking area,and on the other side students who aren’t very social sit spaced out alone. The space for club tables and organizations are usually inhabited by people who have a high level of socialism during the middle of the day but after most classes are finished its used by people trying to get their work done. Unity doesn’t have any spaces that are used to make people come together rather divides them further apart.”
This quote help support my thesis because Taylor a GSU student researcher as well quote that the GSU quad also discourages unity based off the built environment of the GSU quad. I agree with Taylor because the Quad is dived by stairs ramps and sections blocked by the concrete walls.
