The Informal in Roadman Hall is a large rectangular white room just to the left of the lobby. The room has chairs and couches around the perimeter. There are a billiards table and a Foosball table in the middle of the room but both are covered right now due to Covid-19. There are pieces of abstract art along all of the walls. The informal is typically used by students to hang out with each other or to do homework in an environment that isn’t as quiet as their room.

During my time in the informal today the only person that was in there was a German soccer player who was talking on the phone in German, the only thing that he said that I was able to make out was “what the fuck,” and “that’s dope.” Later on though after he got off his phone a female German soccer player came in and they started talking about soccer and what the other person’s soccer schedule was like. Other people walked through the room either to leave Roadman or to go back to their rooms after getting back, but they didn’t ever stop or say anything.
