College Prowler Take
Most students seem very satisfied with Cornell’s facilities. Construction is continually in progress to improve older buildings and revamp outdated ones—unfortunately, this is sometimes disruptive to classes. The architecture of these buildings varies from modern to traditional and gothic, with the overall effect being a uniquely beautiful campus. Most students commend Cornell’s recreational facilities, including state-of-the-art gyms, basketball courts, an indoor track, a cinema, and numerous student centers. The only major complaint that most students have with the facilities is that not all are free-of-charge—students must pay for a gym membership, although many feel that the rates are reasonable. The Cornell University Library system is the 11th largest collection in the U.S., and this is evident in the abundance of volumes available on campus and the multitude of research opportunities.

The libraries are awesome, but there are so many that it's difficult to pick one to study in. The gyms are also great but always crowded and way too expensive. We shouldn't have to pay for them with what we pay in tuition. The food is also amazing at the dining halls, but once again, it's way to expensive.

Most facilities on campus are nice. Some of the more recent buildings are very ugly, but the libraries are all well stocked, and the athletic facilities seem fairly modern. Student centers seem to receive a lot of money, which is odd because people don't seem to frequent them that often. The gyms at Cornell are well stocked and worth the relatively low membership cost.

The facilities on campus are a mix between Gothic architecture and modern buildings. Most of the athletic facilities are modern and very impressive. The computer labs as well stay current with new programs and software. |

The facilities are nice. Cornell has one of the best indoor tracks in the nation. The student centers are also nice. The gyms are another plus; they have nice equipment and are kept very clean. |
