Shea/Durgin Hill

             For my English 102 class we have to pick a place that we can study for the entire semester. I am a resident at Bridgewater, so it is hard to pick a place that I know I can go to at least once a week. After thinking for a few days I finally realized that perfect place was right outside the front door of my building. The hill in front of Shea/ Durgin Hall is a big hang out spot for a lot of the freshmen. When it is nice out there are always people outside sunbathing, playing games, and sometimes even rolling down the hill. A lot of people smoke on the bench that it right on top of the hill and you always see the same group of people at the bench. In the winter there are people sledding, having snowball fights, and building snowman. During the day the town children even hangout there when there is a snow day.

           I do not really have a lot of specific questions yet for this site. I want to know more about the people who commonly hang out t the bench or what attracts the town children to a college campus. I wonder what the college students think of the campus being a hot spot for children to sled in the winter? What kind of outrageous activities have happened on this hill? Has anything bad happened to this hang out spot? I am not sure what specifically I can research about the hill yet, but I hope by watching what goes on I can get a deeper meaning of what goes on at the She/ Durgin Hill.
