One more Coffee, Please. Coffee, my mornings delight, awakening to brewing aroma, rich Arabica coffee and adding a helpful dose of half and half making my coffee silky and creamy, my morning begins. It is always a sad moment when I realize, not even a drip is left. Immediately the task is to find more coffee. But where do we find this elusive drink? If you are a student at the Rochester Institute of technology finding a coffee shop within the vast campus is not a difficulty if you don’t mind braving the cold, then RIT has plenty of coffee shops around campus. Furthermore, what is the purpose of yet another coffee shop? Coffee drinkers want their coffee fix as close as possible, which begs, “why not get rid of a few blobs on a slab to make …show more content…
citizens spends $40 billion dollars a year on coffee, an average of 3.1 cups a day. With the average price of an espresso at $2.45 and the typical brewed coffee priced at $1.38. However in Rochester the average coffee drinker will spend $4.50, on a large espresso. These estimates are for the typical Americans, students in my opinion drink far more than the standard. Young adults living away from home for the first time, staying up all night to do homework, go to work, and the illustrious partiers, throwing caution to the wind. Students live by different rules and schedules and coffee is the great motivator. RIT’s enrolment in the fall of 2016 had a total student population over 18,600 and almost 4000 staff members.

His work was so prized that “The Wall Street Journal dubbed Moore a ‘blue chip’ investment.”(Tate) RIT News & Events informs that the Rochester Institute of Technology purchased the number two, one in the series of seven plus the artist’s copy.) “Three piece Reclining, Figure No.1,” from the Tate Gallery collection after 1978. (Tate) Mary Danowski (nee Moore) the daughter of Henry Moore gifted the Tate gallery her large collection of her father’s work to the Tate Gallery. Henry Moore’s, “Three Piece Reclining Figure No. 1” has been at RIT since 1968, in front of the Max Lowenthal Hall building, and later, relocated to the Liberal Arts Hall’s back lawn. Moore’s sculpture is made entirely out of bronze. As with many works of art this particular sculpture is not pleasing to me nor do I care if it stays where it is on campus. None the less this collection is a historical piece of art that is prized and RIT should be respectful of its long heritage of sculpture that adorns the campus
