This year I like it a lot. Everyone seems
to know each other. Everyone seems to be able
to go in each other's rooms and like just
hang out and talk. That's how a lot of people
met here at the beginning. Everyone had a
door opened. I think it has a traditional
college life vibe. It's definitely big, spacious,
and then I like to think that there's someone
here for you. Howard also occupies that space
of all walks of life where people are really
drawn to there just for a really strong community
and who are often interested in the arts.
So you really get this great sort of melting
pot of different ideas, different personalities,
yet a lot of like-minded people who really
come together into this community. My favorite
memory of the Platt-Howard community was definitely
the open mic nights at the Platteau. The Platteau
is a great resource for everyone living in
Platt and Howard. It's right downstairs. It's
a really beautiful, open space where they
host all sorts of activities especially open
mic nights where people come to read poetry,
play music, and just have fun. It's a really
really great environment. Everyone is really
supportive. It's just a great time to hang
out in there. With all these events the Platteau
community and the Platt-Howard community are
really open to having all levels of artists,
whether you are a photography major, a fine
arts major, or you've never touched a paint
brush in your life, you are welcomed to all
of these events.
