to be in the center of campus. That's the issue.

Despite your complaint about placement, it's a great space and location for them. And, they still go to "LaFun" on a regular basis too. Admittedly, if you lived in Morrissey or Lyons (or Carroll), it's a hike, but classes are right there anyhow.

You dolt, what would your kids have to do with this conversation? Actual students don't know how to use the student activity center. That knowledge can only be gained by attending the school in the pre-internet days. Now that I think about it, also pre- nearly every building that is used as a classroom and half of the dorms.

Thank God I'm well rested.

It isn’t close to the dorms or the dining halls.

I would think a good use would be to go there between classes if it would take too long to go back to your room. I suppose for DeBartolo, that would make sense.

I would expect off campus kids to use it a lot, but you can’t live off campus until senior year.

Was it Jenkins that called the area the center of campus or something like that? Obviously, that area is not the center of campus. However, as noted previously, the current ND student spends the majority of their class time in that area during the week making it a reasonable location for a student union.
