Last week I went to the very first Rose Cafe where we talked about Rose House in general. We spent most of the time talking about concerns that students have about things like the bathrooms in the gothics. I lived in Founders last year, and I definitely agree that the bathrooms in the Gothics are not the best. We had mysterious bugs, nonfunctional showers, and toilets that did not always flush. Professor Blalock explained to us that since the Gothics are considered historical buildings, it’s hard to get the permits (or the money!) to renovate them. One thing that I really liked about last week’s cafe was that we used PollEverywhere. It’s hard sometimes to criticize things or to suggest improvements in front of a lot of people. PollEverywhere was an anonymous way that we could all share our opinions. If in the future we have more cafes like the one last week, I definitely think that we should use PollEverywhere again.
