This is my best attempt at mapping the most frequent places on campus for me. I decided to use both color and size to indicate frequency to a particular building. One of my biggest roadblocks was mastering the polygon sketches, as it took me a while to figure out how to change the vertices and accurately shape the buildings. The first couple of attempts were rough, but I eventually got the hang of it. ArcGIS is definitely a tool that, in the right hands, can display an insane amount of detail and information for users. However, getting used to the space definitely took some time and critical thinking.
