If you're looking for the newest gym at Penn State, then you're probably going to end up at Rec…read moreHall. On campus, there are numerous locations to workout, but none actually have windows that you can actually see outside. Here at Rec Hall, there are huge windows that let you see North Atherton, although there isn't much to see, at least you can see sunlight. Now with all gyms at PSU, there is a ridiculous crowd. You're most likely going to be waiting for machines, and squeezing by a bunch of people just to get from one spot to the next. Sure, I've looked outside of campus to see if I should be joining somewhere else with less of a crowd. After checking out all the gyms in town, it's still better to go with the gyms on campus. The equipment is newer, and is actually maintained. At places like North Club, sure there isn't much of a crowd, but the equipment is pretty old too. Although the equipment is nicer, my gym experience isn't any better. Because there are so many people here at most times, this places get so stuffy and smelly. At a normal gym, I can run a mile and maybe break a light sweat. Here, after a mile, I look like I've been running a 5k because I am drenched in sweat. More or less, I am working out in a sauna. Rec Hall is the nicest gym on campus to get a workout. There are huge windows and new equipment. Sure, the other ones are larger, but they are also a little older. Plus, you're basically working out in a basement. On the downside, the ventilation at Rec Hall is pretty bad, and the gym starts getting humid and sweaty. If only they could actually turn up the A/C or at least open up a window or two. Want to avoid the crowds? Then don't come here between 5pm-10pm. Go when everyone else is in class so that you can actually get a peaceful workout in.

physical plant is great. but, really, could have been better…read more the student activities for students tend to die off because they are chosen and run too often by administrators. the HUB has an advisory board that "meets at least twice a semester" (!). A real student organization to set up activities would lead to more lively program in this space. Not using students to lead and program in this area is sad, and helps lead students to off-campus activities (e.g., drinking), because they are not offered leadership opportunities on campus. This is also leads to the HUB being not a leader in the ACUI.org You will not see a list of events. you will not see a lecture series (at least on the web site), you will not see a movie series. You will no longer see Late Night at Penn State (events on the weekends at night). You will not see student-led program initiatives. oh, and yeah, I'm glad the bookstore is there, but it sucks. it does not do its basic job very well, which is providing textbooks. But, you cannot complain to the university because they outsourced it. If you are in the HUB management, please do correct the web site and include more students in the leadership roles. They are messy and wrong, but they do turn into leaders and learn from it. That is really part of your job, if my dad taught me correctly. but, a great space, well used, and fulfills half of what a student union can do.

this used to be a group that ran recreational soccer primarily for kids, but also for their…read moreparents. It was run by volunteers that built community, and asked you to help support the process financially, but to a modest amount. There was one part-time employee. It was a sweet time, and you could see refs on the fields and people at sign up, and they pushed the schedules to you by physical mail. Now it is designed to support financially a full or paid part-time competitive team coach. The parents are more involved (and more loud at games, some will say rude, but I won't), and the adults who play are left to sort themselves out for the most part (and to sort out an awkward online system to find the games and fields), but the fees are higher. The tone has changed, and I think it is not for the better. But, we have more competition, and winning is what sport is about for most people, right? At least there are less playing so you get get to know the diehards, and the promised 7x7 or 9x9 games give you more playing time when they are mismanaged. Sigh. At least yelp listens. Also try, pick up games. they are the best value in these parts.
