College Prowler Take
Student opinions on facilities at Stanford are fairly consistent. Students are pleased with computer clusters, labs, and libraries. These all provide a good venue for studying and getting work done. However, students are unified in their distaste for the current student union, Tresidder. The food options in the union aren’t particularly enticing, and there’s little to do beyond sitting around at the coffeehouse. The student community doesn’t focus around the union in any way, and many feel that there simply isn’t a student center under current conditions. Opinions are somewhat mixed on athletic facilities. Most think there are some reasonable options for working out on campus. Some, however, think that these facilities are overly crowded, or don’t have convenient hours. Well, it’s now out in the open that Stanford students are dissatisfied with Tresidder Union, and the University is trying to do something about it. The bottom floor of the union has been revamped, and a Subway and coffeehouse were added. Students Speak Out

The facilities on campus are...
The facilities on campus are generally newer and very well maintained. All that tuition money has to go somewhere, doesn’t it? The ‘student union’ is something of a disappointment. The available food there isn’t the greatest, and amenities like an arcade or a bowling alley are completely absent. |

Facilities at Stanford range from...
Facilities at Stanford range from excellent to atrocious. On the atrocious side of things falls Tresidder Fitness—the most conveniently located gym here. It’s in the student union, and it’s a really unpleasant place to work out—small with old machines that are not cleaned or repaired with any decent frequency. It’s almost always crowded, so you have to wait in lines to use certain machines. Also on the atrocious side is Tresidder itself. If you are over 21 then you can have fun drinking at The Treehouse or The Coho, but otherwise there isn’t much to eat, and there certainly isn’t much to do. Certain places here, however, are very nice and quite fancy. |

You’d think with all of Stanford’s money we’d have better stuff. The athletes have the best athletic facilities in the country, but if you’re a normal student and want to use the gym, the facilities are definitely lacking. Also, there’s really no student center. |

Campus is in the midst of renovation, so some stuff might be inaccessible, but most of the facilities are relatively new. Some of the newly-finished classrooms have neat gadgets. |

FactsWhat To Do on Campus
You can work out, go swimming, grab a DVD from the library, get a sandwich or some Mexican food at Tresidder, or just lie around in the sun.
Favorite Things To Do
Flicks [student movie service] is a popular diversion on a Sunday evening when you should be doing your homework. A couple thousand people cram into Memorial Auditorium and have a rowdy paper fight before the show. If that’s not your scene, you can check out just about any DVD that exists from Green Library for free. Watch it in your dorm, or on one of the many publicly available projection screens on campus.
Bar on Campus
- Both The Treehouse and The CoHo serve beer.
