The biggest addiction in college: skipping class. Part of my job as an Admissions Advisor at Eastern Washington University is to give presentations to visiting middle and high school classes that come to see what a college campus is like.
The Athenian Agora. The Agora of Athens was the center of the ancient city: a large, open square where the citizens could assemble for a wide variety of purposes. On any given day the space might be used as a market, or for an election, a dramatic performance, a religious procession, military drill, or athletic competition.
Origins [edit]. Early in Greek history (18th centuryâ8th century BC), free-born citizens would gather in the agora for military duty or to hear statements of the ruling king or council.Later, the agora also served as a marketplace where merchants kept stalls or shops to sell their goods amid colonnades.rigins [edit].
