I’m loyal to the university gym because, well, my student fees(used to) pay for it. Now as an ABD graduate student, paying the fee is optional, but the price is well worth it. As far as gyms go, it’s pretty good and it’s about to get better. The school has recently passed the $ 130 million renovation project. The gym will double in size, and so will gym fees. The redesign should be pretty fantastic. But until then, here are some benefits: Lots of cardio machines, sauna, ice skating/hockey, climbing, badminton, volleyball, basketball, swimming pool, racquetball, and public tennis courts(reserve them in the Spring, Fall, and Summer, but open courts in the Winter). I look forward to the new renovations – then five stars!!!
