Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Your impression of the quality of Gettysburg facilities depends almost entirely on where you happen to be on campus. While some areas are recently renovated and are very clean and modern, other areas have yet to receive the same treatment and are quite unpleasant. The school has accepted so many students in the past few years that they have basically run out of conventional housing. The College has been scrambling to buy up local motels, which can be quickly converted into student living areas. Fortunately, the school has plans to renovate or improve most of the remaining areas on campus in the future. Athletic facilities, including the Bream-Wright-Hauser athletic complex, Musselman Stadium, and the soccer pitches are all nice enough, and a new athletic complex has been designed and construction has already begun.

Gettysburg is also renovating the historic Majestic Theater, which until a few years ago served as the town’s local cinema. The school bought it and engaged in a $12 million renovation that has expanded the lobby and adjoining facilities, and added a smaller theater in addition to the large screen for use in showing movies, lectures, concerts, plays, and other educational programs.

Greatest Gym Ever

The gym is absolutely fantastic. It a great place to work out and they always have really cool exercise classes going on. The library is also a really great place to study with lots of little places to hide yourself away during finals and the Commons is open pretty late for that late night coffee need.

The New Fitness Center

The fitness center is only a few years old and is a very nice facility. There's a multitude of machines for cardio and strength exercising as well as a rock climbing wall for the adventurous. It's open from early in the morning till late at night, and although it can get crowded, you'll usually find something to do in it. There is also a small cafe attached where you can get smoothies, salads, and pizza.

Beautiful Functional Campus

The library is open 24/7 and has a coffee cart for students - you just can't beat that! Completely new state-of-the-art fitness center. The campus is absolutely beautiful, and even the older buildings are amazing because of their history and appearance. There are numerous places to eat on campus besides the dining hall, and there's a Starbucks in the union building.

Favorite Things To Do

Due to its isolated location, GC is quite self-sufficient in terms of things to do on campus. There is almost always an activity provided by the Campus Activities Board on the weekend, and when there is not, there are always alternatives. If you have a few minutes to spare, the Bullet Hole is generally the place to go grab a bite to eat, and you inevitably stand a good chance of seeing someone you know.

Renting a free movie from the extensive DVD collection of Musselman Library is always a safe bet, and once a month or so, the CAB hosts a coffeehouse program that invites a poet or musician to perform in the Junction in a relaxed and open atmosphere.
