Day 7 - The Idea is moving forward!

It is time to begin my project for Media 403.

One of the social contradictions that I have talked about loosely a couple days ago was students who choose to go home on the weekends (and live here during the week). It's almost no surprise that the campus is considered 'dead' on the weekends. In recent times, Red Hot After Hours and such have attempted to keep students on campus a little longer for these special events.

Maybe little effect is seen, for now. One of the reasons I feel like nothing has changed was that one day on the LIRR. I am going to be [creepily] waiting at the train station on some of the important times (hopefully 4/5pm on Thursday, 12-4pm Friday) to see how many people are actually on the platform - and when they get there too. I want to conduct some interviews to see what their reasoning of going home - also how long the commute is and where they are going to (Bronx, NYC, upstate, etc.).

I will finally use the Flickr account too - and I will be sure to add some photos on here!
