<p>Members of the Class of 2011 will be the first to enjoy Paresky for their full four years (that may make up for the ongoing Stetson-Sawyer construction, scheduled to be completed about the time the '11s leave Williamstown).</p>

<p>Here are some links to photos, a video, and a webcam you may enjoy:</p>

<p>To be honest, it's times like this when I wish I could be a freshman again so I could enjoy the student center for a full four years. Alas, I only get to have it for another 1.5 years. Enjoy it, incoming first-years. The place is awesome.</p>

<p>Funny enough, I didn't walk into Paresky until Monday morning, and only for a few minutes, and that's because a friend signaled to me from within as I was walking past. I was quite sick during the weekend, and besides having heaps to do, I wasn't that eager to go in. I wanted to walk in at my own time.</p>

<p>But I agree - a fantastic student center it is. Dining Services numbers at Greylock, Mission and Driscoll have fallen by 40%, 40% and 20% respectively since Paresky [Marketplace] opened.</p>

<p>Yeah, but that just means the lines there are mad long...</p>
