Renovation has begun on a number of the units and needs to continue at as fast a pace as possible. Improvements need to be made to the infrastructure of the facilities, including additional electrical wiring in the halls to accommodate computers, television, and other electronic equipment and appliances that students frequently bring to college. Students speak highly of the programming that occurs in the residence halls. Particular praise was given to the Presidential Scholars Program, honors housing, and the Renaissance Program. Participants in the Middle Earth program who assist students in dealing with a variety of issues gave high marks to that program.
Cleanliness is a problem that has been recognized by the staff.
To help to improve the cleanliness of the residence halls, the University might consider assigning adequate janitorial staff to Residential Life for their supervision. The University provides a variety of recreational facilities, classes, and competitions. Intramural sports are very popular on campus. The University will need even more recreational facilities if the student population increases. The campus has recently decided to participate in Division-I athletics.
