Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Recently, the administration has put a lot of money and effort into improving the student facilities on campus. While students have noticed the improvements, no one seemed to be especially moved by the changes. But in comparison with other schools in the area, BU certainly has a large amount of money to play with, and most buildings are up-to-date and well equipped for student needs.

There are many new and recently renovated facilities on campus, including parking areas, the Fitness and Recreation Center, and Student Village II. The new dorm will allow many more students to stay on campus instead of having to live in the nearby Hyatt during their first semester. All of the dining halls, especially in the West Campus and the Student Village, have also been renovated in the past few years. Depending on the particular college—which tend to receive different amounts of funding—some buildings are in better condition than others. This also goes for places to study, and many students do not seem to enjoy Mugar, the main library on campus. Nevertheless, due to its large size and central location, the library is packed come finals time.

Some Better Than Others

The gym at BU is AWESOME. Only 6 years old, the state of the art building offers all types of fitness equipment and instructional classes from zumba to scuba. There is a large competition pool and a recreation pool, a 25 foot climbing wall, a 3 court gym and a 4 court gym for basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer and floor hockey. There are raquetball and squash courts and also a cafe. There is a new student center opening in the Fall, which should be awesome as well. However, the Mugar Memorial library desperately needs rennovation, as do most classrooms in the college of arts and sciences.

BU Has Something for Everyone

Study facilities like the Mugar Library are usually open until 2, but there are study halls in every dorm. The gym is open early and late, and there is always something going on here.
