Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As a general rule, when it comes to facilities, the ones that are good are very, very good, but the ones that are older could use a little work. Facilities on campus are at their best for students involved in the sciences or the theater. The newest, biggest, and most impressive additions are the Von Liebig Science Center and the Halbritter Center for Performing Arts. Von RealBig, as it is often called, is a state-of-the-art science geek’s dream (and the home of Jitters). Halbritter is the physical manifestation of the small but skyrocketing theater department. Students frequent the gym, and athletes or the athletically-inclined on campus are generally pleased with the actual facilities provided, though those who aren’t members of varsity teams will sometimes gripe about their ability to access the equipment.

While there is much to applaud about the facilities on campus, there are a few complaints as well: the lack of a true student center tops the list, and the art studios and Good Hall, while they get the job done, fall far short of campus’ newest additions. As for a student center, Muddy Run Café tries hard to fill in, but an actual center for students to congregate is nonexistent, and it’s a noticeable absence. But overall, all the facilities are quite nice and very well-kept, regardless of their age.

Excellent Resources and Transit

Our campus is amazingly well equipped for it's size. We have a very well maintained and large gym with many open rooms for student use. Our library communicates very readily with Penn State and other larger institutions to get students what they need. They also have very up to date labs, and food available at most times of day and night. There are lounges and space to think everywhere, and dorm accommodations are quite nice. The only thing I could change would be to give our museum and our tech resources more funding. But that will come with time and good press!

Facilities at Juniata

Some of the facilities are a bit old, but some are quite new. The best are without a doubt the Von Leibig Center for Science and the Susan Von Leibig Theater. Founders Hall is also a very nice building, though it is the oldest on campus. The very worst is the Brumbaugh Academic Center, where many science, math, and technology classes are held, but even this is in pretty good shape. My biggest complaint is that most of the dorms aren't air conditioned, but overall they are alright.

Favorite Things To Do

During the day, you can grab a latte or cappuccino at Jitters, head to the gym, watch a varsity or IM game, or play pool or grab a bite to eat in Muddy Run. Many times, you can also go to a lecture by numerous visiting speakers, and less frequently, go to sit-ins, read-ins, or other entertainment and awareness events sponsored by different clubs and departments around campus. Clubs often sponsor dinners or movie nights, and Alumni Hall often shows second-run and older movies for $1 or $2.

Everyone loves to procrastinate, and you won’t need to look for help to do so. There are always movies playing—between the $2 second-run movies in Alumni, films sponsored by various clubs, and the International Film series, odds are you’ll never be without cinematic entertainment. There are many coffeehouses where Juniata bands or outside bands play for the students, and Friday Night Live events feature comedians, hypnotists, and the occasional musician. Juniata also sponsors the popular Artist Series, in which many performers—from Chinese acrobats to musicians and dancers—come to JC throughout the year, usually attracting big crowds and high praise. The international clubs often host dinners, and if you’re religious, Campus Ministry is also very active. The theater department is growing at top speed; between that and the Musical Theater Club, you can count on a thought-provoking or enjoyable show. And then there are the revered traditions, but that’s for a later page.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process.
