Chiedo (CJ) John - Taylor Down Under

Taylor Down Under (TDU) is an absolutely incredible space on campus where community is encouraged. TDU is a space where students can hop in games of Billiards with students they've never met and is a place where students can build friendships. TDU is at the bottom of Taylor Hall, you can't miss it. All you need to do is follow Bluestone drive, walk into Warren Hall and then walk through to Taylor Hall and go to the bottom floor.



Most JMU students use this space to play games of pool, relax and do homework, hang with friends, play board games or play on the iPads they provide. There are endless possibilities when it comes to TDU.

I definitely think that campus designers designed the space to be used the way it is being used. They designed it with an abundance of couches that line the walls and are placed in the center. It is designed to be a community-centered space.

I honestly do not think this space could be improved. The space is absolutely incredible and it is often overcrowded. The only thing they can do to improve TDU would be to make the space larger!

This space is a huge impact on my time here at JMU. Whenever I need a break or want to meet someone new, TDU is usually the place that I go. TDU is awesome!
