Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Hosaeus Health and PE Complex offers students a place to play basketball, tennis, racquetball, take a swim, and lift some weights. The complex is undergoing renovations that are sure to add to its appeal. Students on varsity teams have their own training facilities next door in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. MSU’s Renne Library offers every type of studying environment possible. With a gathering area and coffeehouse on the main floor, students working on projects or taking time for a quick review before a test have a place to work. During finals week, however, the designated quiet study areas by the fountain are jam-packed with people cramming for the big exams.

There are also study rooms students can reserve for quizzing one another, or for what often happens: laughing, talking, and not doing much studying. Mediocre is the most accurate way to describe MSU’s buildings and design. The Planning Board is currently working to develop a campus plan to make everything more aesthetically pleasing, but so far, the only piece of evidence they have for their plan is the empty field on campus cleared to build a new chemistry research building. Noisy construction equipment and chopped down trees are not exactly the most beautiful thing to see while walking to class.

Library/Dining Hall Remodel

The remodels on the Library and Dining Halls on the MSU campus which were recently completed are fabulous! The Renee Library has a much more welcoming aesthetic to it, and the study space in it I think is put to much better use now. As for the dining halls, they look great, especially with the wall wraps being added throughout the year. It is nice to be eating and see the majesty of Montana!

Library

The library is awesome. It has a coffee shop right inside. There is room to work on group projects or study alone. There are private study rooms that you can check out and on the 3rd floor there is a fountain that is very relaxing to study with. Overall it is an amazing library.

Campus Aesthetics

I am impressed with the upkeep of the campus. The lawns and sidewalks are kept looking great, as well as the appearance of all the buildings. I am especially impressed with the effort the campus puts into the appearance of the buildings, because I noticed that several of the buildings are getting new roofs, but instead of using more modern and durable asphalt shingles, the campus is putting cedar shakes back on the buildings. That type of roofing material is more labor intensive to install, and doesn't last as long as the asphalt shingles, but it definitely keeps up the general appearance of this campus.

The Procrastinator Theatre offers cheap student movies from Thursday through Saturday. Other entertainment options include plays, concerts, an indoor swimming pool, and workout facilities. The Brick Breeden Fieldhouse is famous nationwide for bringing in top concerts.

Thursday nights are “Miss Kitty’s Nights” at the Procrastinator where local businesses give away prizes and admission is only $1. The SUB is a great place to go for some cheap entertainment any night: pool, bowling, and foosball are all in one place.
