College Student Observation

Observation of College Life

While observing our college students, I initially chose the administration building, figuring the students would be seeking help from the advisors, unfortunately, this was not the case. At 4PM it was very slow, staff informed me it had just slowed down and currently, only two students were waiting for assistance. This being the case, I then decided to then visit the library, in the off chance there would be more student traffic, even with the late hour, I was still concerned about the time of day.

The campus library is a hub of student and community services consisting of the Student Success Center, Goodwill Job Connection, computers for both public and students, and six group study rooms. The library hours of operation during the Fall and Spring semesters are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2

I saw a few students that were scheduled to attend my evening class and said hello I noticed they were preparing for my class lecture later that evening which, was great to see. The library seemed to be occupied with 25-30 visible individuals. In the student 's computer common area of the library, the students were mainly working individually there was, however, two groups of people sitting next to each other in a small group environment and were in the under 30 age bracket. I observed that in the tutoring center, two middle age male students were getting help from math and one older woman was getting assistance with an English paper. The library associate informed me that the six group study rooms were occupied with groups of about 5-6 students each and were mainly dental, nursing and radiology students. She informed me the group rooms have become so popular that student groups now need to reserve them ahead of
