I chose an article about the Student Center. The article does not list an author but it was found on the University of Kentucky's web page. Therefore, I deemed it a reliable source. The article explains some of the features of the Student Center, its hours of operation, as well as directions if you're new to the campus.
At your first year at UK, you might not have scheduled your classes particularly well and have some downtime in between classes. If so, head on down to the student center located on Euclid Avenue/Avenue of Champions or down the stairs after passing white hall. The Student Center offers students a number of activities to do while waiting for class. You can play a game of pool or table tennis. Watch TV or play video games. Or just sit at one of the many tables and chew the fat with your pals. While the Student Center has a lot of entertaining aspects to it, it also has academic areas as well. In the Student Center you can also find the UK Bookstore, some conference rooms, and the Credit Union just to name a few things. I stopped at the Student center earlier in the day on Thursday and spoke with a student named Evan Collins and asked him what he thought about the Student Center. He told me "Boy oh boy, do I sure love the Student Center! I can play all the Call of Duty I want!" Although he was the only student I talked to, judging by the amount of people in the Student Center, its safe to say that a lot of students share Evan's opinion.
The article as well as Evan's testimonial got me thinking about focusing in on organizations run by students for students. It seems that these kind of organizations that leave the responsibility to students should be more common place around campus. A question I had after reading the article was, are there any other organizations like the student center around campus?
Informative piece, I really like how you used quotes from fellow students on campus. I used to think of the student center of only a place for recreation activity. But now that you have mentioned all the other academic opportunities located in the student center, I now see the center in a new light.
