College Prowler Take
Emory’s facilities as a whole are very attractive and well-maintained. Nearly every building’s exterior is made of marble, and most feature beautiful terracotta roofs and copper fixtures. This bravado can alienate students but it provides an impressive overall campus appearance. The student center, known as the DUC (Dobbs University Center), is in the middle of campus, and houses the bookstore, the mailroom, a video game room, a pool and foosball room, the freshman dining hall, and numerous administrative outlets for students, including the newspaper and the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life. Emory is building a bigger, brand-new bookstore to be situated behind the Boisfeuillet Jones building. It is scheduled to be completed in 2010. It is rumored that the existing bookstore may become an on-campus convenience store. Emory’s athletic facilities are some of the nicest in the entire Southeast. The baseball and soccer field have been described as a “joy to play on” by members of other schools’ teams. Both are meticulously cared for and kept up year round. Emory also has two huge areas for intramural athletics, Candler and McDonough fields, both located on campus and both cared for with the same attention to detail as the baseball and soccer fields. The gym, known as the WoodPEC (Woodruff PE Center), is a huge, three-story building featuring an Olympic-sized swimming pool, four basketball courts, ten racquetball courts, twenty tennis courts located next to and on the roof of the gym, an indoor rock climbing wall, tons of Nautilus and free weight weightlifting equipment, a Varsity weight room, and two dance and martial art studios, and it all attaches to the track and soccer field. The equipment in the gym is due for an overhaul soon, but no one doubts that this will happen. In one word, amazing. Students Speak Out

The facilities here are unparalleled. The athletic center boasts an olympic size pool, a great workout area, and tons of tennis courts and classrooms for yoga, pilates, etc. The Clairmont campus also houses a beautiful outdoor pool, workout center, and basketball courts with a pretty decent restaurant that freshmen use to get away from the DUC every once in a while.

The DUC is mostly only used for dining, but there are study areas and club meeting areas as well. The library has everything you could ever need, including eight floors of books, a Music & Media floor with current movies to rent, study rooms that groups can reserve, and endless computers, including PCs and Macs. There's also a 24-hour coffee place in the basement for late-night studying. Cox Hall also has a computer lab with a more relaxed atmosphere and plenty of resources, including SmartBoards for study groups to use and computers with video and photo editing software.

Emory has amazing facilities. The WoodPec gym is great: Olympic-sized pool, basketball, yoga studios, indoor tennis, workout machines--the works! The library is great, too. Cox computer lab is really chill--you can sit on floor cushions and eat while you study on the computer. There are computer kiosks in all of the buildings. The student center is pretty good, too.
