A Space Between Places



Diverse herds of students saunter down a wide path between two rows of academic buildings. The pace of each student differs and his/her destination is unknown, but Academic Row is a place of constant transit. In the midst of all this movement, some students pause to socialize, some momentarily forgetting about the woes of classes and others discussing the potential outcomes of the tests they just trudged through in a nearby lecture hall. As students pass peers they are familiar with, a friendly hello or wave is exchanged as these groups of students traverse the central hub of the campus’ academic realm. Though not a place conducive to lengthy interaction, Academic Row is a pleasant, scenic space where friends can trade short stories, swap encouraging smiles and take deep breaths of fresh air between classes.

  2. I love your colorful drawing for one, but you have pegged academic row perfectly. I that time people watching from behind the glass pays off. Great descriptions!
