College Prowler Take
Valpo has been updating the campus over the last few years with some really nice additions, including the library, union, and fitness center. The library is a great addition to campus. It brings a state-of-the-art facility to a campus that is trying to move forward and expand.The Harre Union opened in 2009 and has a games and recreation center, meeting rooms, lounges, a computer lab, and a ballroom that hosts numerous events. The ARC, while nice in size, is usually overrun with athletic teams and their practices. However, the recent addition of the fitness center offers a wide range of options for non-varsity athletes. It is state-of-the-art with a cardio area that has 25 machines, a weight-training area, and aerobics equipment. There are also fitness classes available. Students Speak Out

Facilities Need Improvement
C-
While the facilities at VU are sufficient, the lack of modernity can inhibit higher degrees of learning. The newest buildings - Union, Library, Kallay-Christopher - are excellent buildings that serve their purposes well. However, the majority of other buildings severely lack in their abilities to teach at the highest degree.

Library is so nice
A+
I absolutely love the library. I appreciate the quiet floors, but also that there is a space for talking and fun. I love Grinders, and the windows are just fantastic. In the nice weather, my friends and I sit out on the terrace and it's just great.

The new union is great, but there should still be more food options and places to eat around campus.

New Library and Union, Beautiful Chapel
A
The major buildings on campus (library, union, chapel, VUCA) are beautiful. Dorms are okay and most academic buildings are older, but they still have character beauty. The ARC has horrible hours, but with the new rec center it might be better.

Things are being updated
B+
The buildings are pretty old and outdated, but they offer a sort of old-fashioned charm to the campus. The university is also working on updating everything.
