College Prowler Take
All roads lead to the Connelly Center. It is not only geographically in the middle of campus, it is also the social center, study center, and has arguably the best food on campus. It caters to the students' basic needs. One need that tends to be overlooked is the athletic facilities. Both West and South campus gyms often have broken equipment and long lines to use the machines that actually work. However, the athletic facilities are being updated to meet student needs. Something Villanova does have a lot of, though, are courts. Every dorm on campus is within a few minutes' walk of tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts, and there is almost never a wait for a pick-up game. Overall, the facilities on campus add to the feel of the school. The building that always gives postcard-quality pictures is the church, the oldest building on campus. But even the newer buildings on campus have an older look with modern accommodations. However, no campus is complete without a few buildings that stick out like sore thumbs. Perched on top of a hill, CEER is a massive white concrete monster of a building that contrasts directly with Tolentine, one of the oldest buildings on campus. The only area that the University seems to overlook is the need for up-to-date athletic facilities. Students Speak Out

I think the most lacking facilities are athletics. The student center is well equipped, as are the computer labs. |

We have nice facilities with good hours, and they aren’t too crowded even during ‘busy’ times. |

I’ve been told the gyms need to be updated and one added on Main. The computers are fine, depending on where you go; Mendel and Bartley have the best from what I know. The Connolly Center is great. It has a cinema, ice cream, and a dining area. |

The athletic facilities for non-varsity athletes need extreme renovation. I use the gym at the bottom of Stanford. There are no elliptical machines, and students often have to wait for treadmills and Stairmasters at prime gym times. Also, there are no televisions, and the room itself is ugly and smelly. The computer labs get full at prime times, as well, but people go in and out quickly, so you rarely have to wait at all. The student center is very well kept. |

Most of the facilities on campus are very well-kept, but I do think that the athletic facilities could use some renovation, especially the gyms on South and West campus. |
FactsWhat To Do on Campus
There’s always a lot to do on campus at Villanova. When the weather is nice, you can see students hanging out at Sheehan beach or at the Oreo outside of Connelly. Other times, there’s usually a movie playing in Connelly or you can choose to rent a movie at Reel Divine and watch it with your friends in your dorm. Second Storey in St. Mary’s is another popular place to grab a bite to eat and catch up with your friends and the same goes for just about every dining spot on campus.
Favorite Things To Do
If you're ever bored, there are usually a lot of different activities taking place on campus. You can head over to Connelly Center to catch a movie in the free cinema. The movies are usually pretty current and sometimes they play foreign and indie films as well. During the day, there are always people hanging out on the couches in Connelly or outside Holy Grounds doing some homework or chatting with friends. In the winter, basketball games are the thing to do and the Villanova Wildcats are always exciting to watch.
