Since the closure of Davies Hall, classes have been moved all over campus, and not all of them are fit to be classrooms. Some classes are also being moved to multiple classrooms, which makes it hard for students to focus on education. (Photo Illustration by Heather Amberson)

“I think we should have some pasta here, [and] chicken or shrimp alfredo. I also think they should have put out a survey before we started school, so that we could get an opinionated collection of suggestions for food. Let’s add some more seasoning to the food please, it’s a little bland.” - Ameiah Williams | Music Production Major

Campus Pulse: Do you think the food options on campus are enough?

“We had our space before Davies Hall closed, but our division office was housed [there]. It’s been positive for us, because now faculty hang out in HomeBase, and we really want faculty involved.

I think that it may be harder to find us… since we are so secluded it’s really hard to stumble upon us.” - Kaira Bradley | Language and Communication HomeBase Success Coach

“I’d say I get seven hours of sleep on a daily basis. It’s definitely beneficial when I get enough sleep, but the times that I don’t I feel like it’s a wasted day because my cognitive function goes down. It feels like brain fog.” - Rebecca Hughey | Psychology Major
