Gym/athletic facilities?

<p>I’m applying ED but now I’m being specific and nitpicky on knowing smaller details about Brown. How’s Brown’s gym or athletic facilities? Do current students use those more or opt for a local Providence gym instead? Also, how many students tend to use gyms (percentage)? </p>

<p>I’ll have more minor questions later but regardless, my heart is set on Brown :)</p>

<p>I have no idea what the percentages are but I'd say the gyms here are largely adequate, if not great. Local options are somewhat expensive and almost always require a car to get to.</p>

<p>We're supposed to start building the brand new Nelson Fitness Center soon which would lead to us having rather fantastic facilities, but several issues mostly stemming from design have stalled that project and I'm not sure when it will be started but it would be completed well before you leave Brown if you get in as a member of the class of 2013.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot modestmelody! You've been great answering questions about Brown - and not just my own. I appreciate your help :D.</p>
