Attempting to reproduce a map of campus from memory, I realized that my knowledge was very limited to a small triangle bounded roughly by Dunster, the Yard, and the intersection of JFK and Mt. Auburn. My ability to map anything on the "other" side of JFK or anything past Quincy Street was basically non-existent, despite going to both places with some frequency. I was also surprised at the extent to which my memory of the Yard and the areas bounding Quincy Street were significantly better even than my memory of places near my own house. I also seem to have made the Quad bigger and closer than it actually is.
