Deciphering the
Mysteries of Cox Hall
What is Cox Hall? Is a place where the gods
feast or is it an illusion that has overshadowed the cafeteria food? When
people set food into the Cox Hall, what are they thinking? Why do they come to
Cox Hall? Cox Hall’s facility, its people, or the food could clue into the
mysteries of Cox Hall.
Cox Hall is
the alternative food court to the main cafeteria at Emory University. They
serve a variety of food including Korean, Mexican, Deli, and much more. They
differ from the main cafeteria because they are a collection of different entities
that operates in a supportive yet competitive nature. The facility can hold an
estimate of 200 people. Cox Hall is organized efficiently where all of the food
choices are in back left corner and, with a simple turn, all of the tables and
chairs are available with even an outdoor dining area. Cox Hall is conveniently
located near Alabama Hall freshman dorm, Emory Hospital, and right across from
all the classes. Cox Hall is painted with bright colors of green, yellow, and
orange, giving a warm welcome to all of its customers.
The people
that go to Cox Hall seems to consist of Emory Hospital employees, construction
workers, upperclassmen, few freshmen, and other professional class of people.
People seem to swarm between 1 to 2 p.m. during lunch hours and 6 to 7 p.m.
during dinnertime. The atmosphere feels different than from main cafeteria as
the people in Cox Hall socialize within smaller groups. The people also does
not seem to be open to sit with new people as much as the main cafeteria;
freshmen tend to show a pattern of sitting with random people more often from
different observations. The employees at Cox Hall seem to be lack a community
amongst themselves unlike the main cafeteria where all of the employees
socialize and work as a team. This could be due to the single entity that
controls the food at the main cafeteria. Cox Hall’s employees, however, appears
to be nicer.
The food
quality, comparatively, has more flavors and bigger portions. However, the
price seems to be the main reason that keeps many college students on their
toes when they walk into Cox Hall. While they do offer many more selections
than the main cafeteria, they lack a diverse change that the main cafeteria
manages to do everyday by changing its menus per meal to keep the student’s
interest at its peak as they wonder what food they will serve next.
Overall,
Cox Hall offers an alternative food option that is convenient, inviting, and
different. With the consideration of its prices, crowded hours, and little
change to the variation of food, Cox Hall still offers a unique experience for
the consumers. After all, a satisfying meal is what customers are looking for,
and Cox Hall delivers that.
Good job overall; your conclusion seems to be based on observation which you include in the rest of the blog post. However, I would encourage you to integrate at least a couple of interview quotes, especially when you state a claim in your concluding paragraph.
