The Great Court is a communal meeting point for many students as it offers large expanse of green grass that students are freely allowed to frequent. As the shady trees produce a friendly environment for students to eat, meet, relax and simply unwind.

Time
During this time of day the Great Court is not busy, however there are still small groups of students populating all corners of the court. The mood is fairly relaxed as most students have finished classes for the day and simply want to relax, with the exception of a few gathering to play frisbee or some other sport.
Midday - Great Court is generally densely populated as more students (solo or in groups) populate the area to eat lunch and sun themselves. This time of day also brings larger groups of students to the grassy field to play games.
Mornings - similar vibe to afternoons, however more students sit either in the sun or shade with books preparing for the day’s lessons.
- It is also noted that during different times of the day, as the sun moves, the sunny areas of the court are more densely populated than shady as it is currently winter. Summer brings the opposite effect.
