College Prowler Take
Denison is an aesthetically pleasing campus, with lots of green on the quads and immense brick buildings. But the appearance of the buildings is not merely a façade—the facilities at Denison are in good condition. The effort to keep facilities in good condition, however, results in a lot of construction on campus. Most students find it easy to forgive the construction in exchange for both the entertainment and the convenience the facilities provide. There are two newer buildings: the Samson Talbot Hall of Biological Science, dedicated in 2004, and Burton Morgan, a center for many of the administrative offices, dedicated in 2003. Buildings such as these two have helped to create space for the academic departments to grow. Mitchell Recreation Center, another of the newer buildings on campus, houses the gym. All of the equipment is in top condition, and students, as well as town residents, are drawn in to work out. The computer labs are well-kept—it’s a rare thing to see a computer out of order. The student union was recently remodeled so that it is more space effective, although it still has a more functional than recreational feel. It serves its purpose very well—it just does so with an administrative flair. The Bandersnatch coffeehouse (one of the focal points of East Quad life) by no means feels entirely new, but it has charm. It’s a nice place to chill with friends, maybe attempt to do homework, and definitely have a good time. Students Speak Out

The athletic center is basically in the middle of campus, so it is convenient to get to. They have everything and the kitchen sink down there. There are 12 outdoor tennis courts, four indoor tennis courts (those are my personal favorites), an indoor track, weight room, cardio room, classrooms, a multipurpose room for Tae Kwon Do or aerobics, an indoor swimming pool, a field house, an outdoor track and football stadium, racquetball and squash courts, and three basketball courts that magically turn into volleyball courts with a few posts and some netted string. |

Facilities, huh? Do you like bathrooms? Now those are some nice facilities. There is toilet paper as far as the eye can see, and plenty of sinks to wash your hands. |

I think we have a lot of facilities given our size, and we are constantly updating, which is also great. Some areas get better facilities and receive more attention than others, but I guess that it is to be expected. |

I like the facilities on campus. Some of them are kind of run-down, but they’re definitely still workable and usable and nice to be in. The student center basement was just renovated and is actually somewhat well-lit (although the rest of the building is still dark). |

The facilities on campus are very nice. The bathrooms are cleaned regularly, the athletic center is a very clean and friendly place, and the student centers are good. |

Favorite Things To Do
There are lots of things to do on campus, especially at night. The student union is host to concerts, comedians, and plenty of activities put on by student organizations. Swasey Chapel or the Mitchell Center house the larger venues Denison brings to campus. For something more low-key, the Denison Film Society shows movies on several nights of the week. The plays at Ace Morgan Theater generally draw large crowds, as well. The Bandersnatch coffeehouse has board games students can play if they wish, and every Thursday and Sunday night student bands play. There are also guest speakers almost every day of the week. Students never lack things to do.
There is almost always something to do on campus. In between classes, students can grab a bite to eat and watch television in Slayter Hall or work out in the athletic center.
