Hanover College "looks" like a college. The Georgian-style red brick buildings, white columns, and the verdigris, copper roofs topped with white domes make it look like a college from the set of a movie. The outdoor spaces are well maintained, and during the warmer months, bright flowers and blooming trees abound. Most of the buildings have been renovated in recent years and are decorated with pictures of events in Hanover's history, beginning in 1827 when the College was founded. The Duggan Library has three floors that contain a wide variety of reading and research materials. There are thousands of periodicals, journals, and articles on file. The Science Center contains high-quality laboratories and equipment, as well as museum-quality displays of fossils, rare rocks and minerals, and other exhibits. Classic Hall is home to the humanities departments (like English, history, philosophy, and others) and has small classrooms perfect for class discussions.
The Horner Center is the main athletic facility on campus and is up-to-date and user friendly. It features two gymnasiums, racquetball courts, an indoor track, dance and aerobics rooms, classrooms, coaches’ offices, aerobic equipment and weight lifting room, locker rooms, and athletic training rooms. The Horner Center is open to students, athletes, professors, and Hanover community members.

Lacking Athletic Center
At Hanover College, there is one athletic center called the Horner Center. While the facility is kept clean, it is small. The weight room and the cardio machines are in the same room because there are so few. The work out equiptment is outdated. Besides the Science Center, most buildings give off an outdated feeling. One of my classes is in a room once used as a lab, complete with holes in the floor and a white board that doesn't work. The Campus Center feels more formal than student friendly.

Rediculous Desks but Beautiful Campus
Class sizes are small so I understand why we do not need big classrooms, but the desks are so tiny it's rediculous. However, Hanover College has a nice weight room and gym and a beautiful campus.
