The facilities on campus are functional and well kept. The newer buildings are well designed and environmentally friendly, while the older ones are a bit dilapidated. The student center is criticized for its non-central location, but it serves its purpose. Templeton Student Center is home to the two dining halls, the mailroom, a computer lab, the Student Health Center, and the student club offices. Thayer Student Lounge was introduced on the lower level. Disappointingly, this small room featuring old couches, a wall-mounted TV, and a foosball table, has not been used for much other than the occasional nap. Pamplin Sports Center is a fine facility for the size of this campus, and the track is great, but usually empty.
Most academic buildings have brick exteriors and large classrooms, some featuring floor-to-ceiling windows to allow natural light in. Watzek Library, with ample study areas and a reading room with leather couches and a fireplace, is large for a small school. Estate Gardens features a reflecting pool, waterfalls, a view of Mount Hood, an outdoor swimming pool, a gatehouse with a grape arbor (with delicious grapes you can eat), tennis courts, a greenhouse, and a large rose garden.

The Library
The Waztek library is amazing. There are plenty of quiet locations for studying, but there are also places available for group study. There are many resources and the library staff are very helpful.

24 Library=Awesome!
From Sunday at 9am to Friday at 10pm the library is open 24 hours a day. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but when it's 1am, your roommate is having a party, and you have a paper due the next morning, having the library open all night is amazing! You will definitely learn to love Watzek and you might even spend a night there.

Nice Place
Having not been to other schools I have no point of reference although I come from a privileged background and I really thought they were nice. Did I get the scholarship?
