I am a freshman. I barely live here. I’ve seen the Charles River probably five times in my entire life. I couldn’t get to Mather House even if you gave me a compass and directions printed off Google Maps. So this was a difficult exercise for me. My map is not very accurate. There are huge areas of the square that I had trouble transcribing accurately, or remembering at all. Obviously, the blurry areas are those which I occupy infrequently, usually because they house neither food nor friends. I think if I were given a blank layout of the streets of Cambridge, I could fill it in pretty easily. A lot of my confusion arose simply from the bending & diagonals of streets like Bow & Brattle. If Harvard were located in midtown Manhattan, this would have been a piece of cake. I am, however, very sure of the location of CVS. And I know where Thayer is. I live in Thayer.
