Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! The purpose in creating this was to investigate the C4C, or Center for Community, a new building that was recently opened on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. The topic was of interest because of the new dining hall featured in the building. The dining hall truly is incredible at first glance. There is tons of seating and it seems as if there is an endless option of food. While Allison is a junior and Sierra is a sophomore, we are rather envious of the dining hall. We wish that when we were freshmen we could have eaten there everyday. However, Christina is a freshmen and quickly grew sick of eating at the C4C and prefers other dining halls. This led us to conduct a project. We would report on the C4C and compare how different members of the campus community feel about it and the other dining halls on campus.
