Arizona State University - Facilities

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

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?

The SRC has everything I could ever ask for and it’s included with tuition. There’s a pool, tennis courts, yoga classes (these you have to pay for), aerobics, machines, and much more. I think it’s awesome. 12345 Facilities Report

The athletic facilities are really... The athletic facilities are really nice. The SRC is huge, and I’ve never had a problem with crowds. There are a variety of sports, exercise classes, machines, and weights. Everything is clean and modern. The computers are fast and pretty new, but you’ll usually have to wait for them. The MU is a good place to get food or find something to do, but I’m still mad they replaced the comfy couches with chairs. 12345 Facilities Report

There are always guys wearing tight shirts showing off their steroid-muscles and trying to pick you up. The girls aren’t any better; I hate feeling like I have to look hot to go the gym. 12345 Facilities Report
