046 The Most Romantic Place on Campus

 

 In this Valentine’s Day edition of Dave by the Bell, Dave and University Communications intern Madi chat it up with friendly passersby to get at the heart of this question — “What is the most romantic place on campus?”

 

 

Dave Blanks:

Hello, friends. I'm Dave Blanks from University Communications, and I was going to talk today about Valentine's Day. What we're going to do is ask students what the most romantic place in all of campus is. I was going to go see if Madi , our intern, wanted to come along. So, let's go do that.

Hello.

 

Madi:

So, jacket?

 

Dave Blanks:

I'm not wearing a jacket, based on what you said. You said you got hot.

 

Madi:

Fine. We won't wear jackets.

 

Dave Blanks:

Madi , no jackets for this one. There are romantic places on campus. We're walking right now by the-

 

Madi:

By the hand statue.

 

Dave Blanks:

...church hand statue thing with the wheelbarrow. I don't think that's a place.

 

Eliza:

My name's Eliza.

 

Dave Blanks:

So Eliza, Valentine's is coming up. Did you know?

 

Eliza:

Yes, it is.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah, it is. Is that an exciting thing for you? A positive thing?

 

Eliza:

It is exciting.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah?

 

Eliza:

We're going to go up here.

 

Dave Blanks:

Okay, let's go up here.

 

Eliza:

I got my first boyfriend a couple months ago, so this will be... We're going to go this way?

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah, let's go this way.

 

Eliza:

This will be my first Valentine's Day with someone.

 

Dave Blanks:

Very sweet.

 

Eliza:

So it'll be fun.

 

Dave Blanks:

Cool. Yeah, yeah. Are you a freshman at App?

 

Eliza:

Yes, I am.

 

Dave Blanks:

All right. Excellent. You're doing the whole college experience thing.

 

Eliza:

Yes, I am.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah. Good for you. Okay, so if you had to spend it on campus somewhere, where's the most romantic place?

 

Eliza:

I really like the duck pond.

 

Dave Blanks:

Yeah.

 

Eliza:

That little shelter.

 

Dave Blanks:

Oh, yeah.

 

Eliza:

I think that's fun.

 

Dave Blanks:

All right.

 

Eliza:

Get bagels or something.

 

Dave:

Dude…the duck pond!

 

Savannah:

Savannah.

 

Dave Blanks:

If you had to pick one?

 

Savannah:

The duck pond.

 

Dave Blanks:

The duck pond?

 

Savannah:

I think it's cute.

 

Dave Blanks:

You think the duck pond?

 

Savannah:

Could be kind of cute. Yeah, you could do a little picnic or something.

 

Dave Blanks:

Oh, okay. That's good. That was a good answer.

 

Jacob:

I'm Jacob. The solarium, maybe.

 

Dave Blanks:

You think the solarium?

 

Jacob:

Yeah.

 

Dave Blanks:

All right. Why the solarium?

 

Jacob:

There are a lot of plants and sunlight, I guess.

 

Dave Blanks:

Right?

 

Jacob:

Yeah.

 

Dave Blanks:

What about outside?

 

Jacob:

It's cold.

 

Derek Carter:

I'm Derek Carter. A romantic place on campus?

 

Dave Blanks:

Right.

 

Derek Carter:

I'd probably just take her to my job, the cafe. Cascades.

 

Dave Blanks:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cool. Right on.

 

Derek Carter:

They have a Valentine's Day drink, so I'll probably give that.

 

Dave Blanks:

What's the Valentine's Day drink?

 

Derek Carter:

It's like chocolate and strawberry.

 

Dave Blanks:

That sounds good. Is it expensive?

 

Derek Carter:

It's like $6.

 

Dave Blanks:

College student can swing that for Valentine's Day, right?

 

Derek Carter:

Yeah.

 

Dave Blanks:

All right. All right. Excellent.

 

Evan Rice:

I am Evan Rice. Okay. This is a curve-ball. Me and my girlfriend just broke up a week ago.

 

Dave Blanks:

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Evan Rice:

I'll probably just go for a picnic. I'd start here.

 

Dave Blanks:

We're on Sanford right now.

 

Evan Rice:

Yeah.
