College Prowler Take
The facilities open for use by all students (and therefore financed by everyone) are excellent. The recreation center is top-notch, with indoor basketball courts, racquetball, martial arts classes, a swimming pool, and volleyball nets. The University Union had a major remodel and is looking quite chic. Computers are usually donated or financed in part by large companies, so they are top-of-the line. When it comes to individual departments, however, conditions vary. High-profile and profit departments like engineering and computer science, receive large donations, therefore are able to maintain their buildings. So, other departments seem to be living in the dark ages. Cal Poly’s overall look is modern. Being on the west coast, there is no gothic architecture or enormous wood-paneled halls. If you’re looking for something stunning, you’ll find it in the natural environment. The campus is covered with trees, green grass, and flowers. Since the weather is perfect, why be inside? Most buildings are at least efficient and serve their purposes well. The performing arts center is probably as classical as you get, having been modeled on the European-style opera house.

Everything is nice. Some of the buildings are aged a little, but all the technology is kept really up-to-date, especially in the library. Cal Poly strives to continually change and improve its settings, and it really pays off.

FactsWhat To Do on Campus
Some options available are to work out, swim, play racquetball at the gym, go bowling, play pool, or dance on the DDR machine. If you prefer to be a little less active, you can sunbathe on Dexter Lawn, listen to a live local band on Thursday’s UU Hour, or contemplate the latest art or architecture projects (often displayed in odd, public areas around campus, many times integrated with the scenery itself).
Bowling on Campus
- There are 14 lanes in the University Union including four bumper lanes.
Movie Theater on Campus
- Chumash Auditorium in the University Union is actually an auditorium not a theatre, but once a week, students can attend a movie and eat popcorn for free.
