We were up on campus this weekend for an event.  Stopped by the Barnes center on Sunday.  Awesome.  Loved the block S on the plates and dumbbells.  Esports room was top notch.

I worked out in Archbold as a freshman.  There was one room with a bunch of universal machines.  That was it.  No free weights.  No dumbbells.  No treadmills.  No nada.  We used to break into the Crew workout room just to get access to some other equipment.

SU really needed this.  The arms race is not just occurring with sports, it is also occurring with the general student population.  When we were visiting colleges with my daughter, some of the schools had unbelievable recreation facilities. South Carolina had a rec facility that could have been a vacation resort.

Next step is to upgrade the dorms.  Dorms were like luxury apartments at some of the schools we visited.

Students are spoiled but they also work extremely hard. My daughter did more work last year as a frosh than I did in my four years on the hill.  I cannot speak for the other schools but Newhouse is worth every penny that I am spending.  Facilities, faculty, career services are all second to none.  I think my daughter will have a huge advantage with that school on her resume versus having gone someplace else.
