Sit, talk, eat or work. The first floor of the commons adjacent to Salsarita’s is a large public space that many flock to. The majority of individuals who come to this space are UMBC students to eat and socialize. Few people here are professors or people who don’t seem be a part of the student body. Students get their food with a group of people then find a table to eat and talk; some people come with a smaller group or alone to then join a larger group. Rarely do you see one individual person alone in this area. When people come here in groups they spend a good about of time sitting and talking, usually an hour or more. But if they come alone they will spend about twenty minutes to just eat. This is mainly a leisure space for people to unwind and socialize with friends.

I eat lunch in the commons all the time, and you are right you rarely see a person eating by them self.
