Comments

• Have a student center like the ones at Rutgers. I
  spend more time there and i don't even go there.
• coffee house for older students
• We need a game room!!!
• Better weight room. The pool is great! The weight
  room is terrible, and the locker room for the
  pool has about 1/4 inch of dust in each of the
  lockers.
• Pool Table
• A student lounge with a pool table, air hockey,
  TV's, Vending Machines (or a food area).
