Quad Lounging[edit]
On warm days, many quad residents can be found lounging on the grass and the picnic bench near the bbq grill. People living in Neifert, Sherwin, Cambell, Elder, Furrow, and Raub can be found chilling out in the sun doing homework or absolutely nothing. While everybody does not partake, the quads can be very sociable if you want them to be. While the facilities really do suck, it is quite nice to walk back to the quads and always find somebody familiar sitting at the picnic bench. The picnic bench has seen many a chain smoking session. It is also a great place to find drunken people as they filter home from parties during warmer weather.
