Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most facilities on campus are excellent. The Student Recreation Complex (SRC) is considered among the country’s elite. It’s a contemporary student gym that features weight machines, exercise equipment, tennis, basketball and racquetball courts, yoga and aerobic instruction, table tennis, a swimming pool, and a host of other services. Membership to the SRC is included in the cost of admission. Students have said that the people who work out at the SRC are more interested in how they look then in what they’re actually there doing, but when you’re on a campus like ASU with 45,000 beautiful people, it’s inevitable.

The Memorial Union is located in the center of Arizona State’s campus, and is passed through by pretty much everyone at some point of the day or another. The MU is a great place because it has a little bit of everything. It just recently received a little bit of a make-over where it received some new eateries. The MU basement is filled with places to grab a bite to eat, as well as many other games, shows, and activities. The MU also houses a cafeteria, an arcade, a bowling alley, a pool hall, conference rooms, a used record shop, and a number of other resources. The computer complexes all provide computers with high-speed connections and have a spectacular software collection; however they are often hard to access due to the large number of students in need of them. The MU is great for all needs, and I recommend passing through between classes. There’s this new cereal bar there called Cereality, where you can customize your own bowl of cereal or get a fabulous breakfast smoothie! What more could you ask for after rushing off to school late with nothing but a Nutri-grain bar that crumbled in your bag on the way over?

Clean, Accessible and Helpful

The facilities at Arizona State are very nice. The student rec center is always very clean and accessible. The staff working is very friendly and helpful when you need assistance. The Memorial Union is also clean and a nice a place to go to sit and relax. It is a cool getaway on campus to do homework or get something to eat.

Good but Needs Improvement

The facilities at Arizona State University are good. The Student Recreation Complex has different gyms for basketball, volleyball, badmitton, racquetball, weightlifting, martial arts, a swimming pool, and similar to what the YMCA offers in their complexes. The student union--commonly called Memorial Union--has been newly renovated a few years ago after a kitchen fire burned the majority of the second and third floors of the building. It continues to be a popular hangout of many students and faculty along with the constant shortage of finding a decent place to sit. The only issues with Arizona State University is that it is overcrowded so finding a seat in the Memorial Union is very difficult, nearly impossible. The billiards and bowling area in the basement of the Memorial Union needs improvements to look new. The Student Recreation Complex also needs improvements because most of the equipment is old and needs to be replaced. Overall, Arizona State University's facilities are great areas on campus but needs the most improvements.

A-

At Downtown We Share

The Downtown campus does not have their own recreational center like Tempe does, but we do share with the YMCA which is actually right across the street. It's a nice facility with lots of stairs, but it only gets crowded in the late mornings, and it has a variety of machines to use.
