Please don't tell me the classrooms look like this:

Colleges and Universities A-Z Villanova University
1

<p>Bartley</a> Hall</p>

<p>are they really this old/outdated/dirty looking?
Bartley looks amazing compared to the other halls (but is still not very appealing). the other halls look like garbage. </p>

<p>they all look worse than my high school....</p>

<p>i dont really know what looks so dirty about this but if you go on a lot of college visits and look at all the classrooms, you will find ours are not that bad. and its not like a high school where they only have a few buildings to worry about. this is a university, and an old one at that and they are slowly updating everything. the classrooms are not nearly as bad as you are making them out to be.</p>

<p>Doesn’t look that bad to me. I’ve certainly seen worse.</p>

<p>I’m thinking “garbage” is harsh.
What schools are you comparing the facilities against?
Visit and make your own judgement.
I would say that facilities are on par or above other peer institutions.
But more importantly , base your judgement on the quality of the education you will receive and the value of the degree you will receive.
If Villanova is not up to your standards , move on to your next choice.</p>

<p>Villanova is a well run university.</p>

<p>sorry if that sounded harsh haha… i love villanova but i guess after looking at BU’s new SMG building and BC’s business building i developed this image of what a college classroom looked like.</p>

<p>

If you were my child I’d ask you … does it matter more what the classroom looks like or what learning happens in the classroom? A lot of older schools will have older classrooms … but so what as long as the classrooms and buildings are up to date technology wise.</p>

<p>and I would say both. it would definitely affect my mood. it is something else to take into consideration. I’d rather be in a state of the art classroom than one that looks like it belongs in a high school. and these classrooms do not look up to data technology wise</p>

<p>i mean, comon, look at this:

<p>my high school spanish room has more technology than that.</p>

<p>if i am paying more than 50,000 to go each year I want the facilities to be top notch. this is ridiculous, i’m sorry </p>

<p>real big turn off for me</p>

<p>Enjoy Boston College!!!</p>

<p>lol Ny0rker… but I agree with everything you’re saying. Atmosphere is important to a learning environment for sure.</p>

<p>Have you visited Villanova? I have, as well as about six other colleges, and I think the facilities are above average. But I’m definitely visiting again to see everything my tour didn’t get to- South campus and buildings besides Bartley for example.</p>

<p>This is pretty cool: [Applied</a> Finance Lab](<a href=“http://www.villanova.edu/business/about/facilities/financelab.htm]Applied”>VILLANOVA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS | Villanova University)
and the exterior: [Bartley</a> Hall Expansion and Renovation at Villanova University Project By STV](<a href=“http://www.stvinc.com/project.aspx?id=57]Bartley”>http://www.stvinc.com/project.aspx?id=57)</p>

<p>I’ve also had very up-to-date classrooms in high school, but I don’t think Villanova’s facilities will be vastly different as a whole.</p>

10

<p>yeah the outsides all looked great. i visited twice and am going back at least one more time so we’ll see. i’m going to look a little bit closer.</p>

11

<p>hahaha. This thread is too funny.</p>

12

<p>haha what is so funny about this thread?</p>

13

<p>Ny0rker, actually the VSB has one of the more “up to date facilities” after visiting over 5 undergrad b schools inside the top 25 business week rankings. Additionally, this is coming from a prospective transfer student who attended an undergrad b school ranked inside the top 25 business week rankings as well.</p>

14

<p>Well if the weather’s nice maybe class is outside! haha, idk, it’s just like funny I don’t know! Is VU your first choice??</p>

15

<p>the gross picture of the classroom you picked is st marys hall.its not really a fair one to point out because anyone on campus will tell you st marys is just a random mixture of everything that couldnt fit in other buildings. theres a dining hall, second storey, residences, pool, basketball court,pool tables, multiple churches, and a few classrooms. The band, singing, and other art groups practice there. I dont know anyone who has a class in St Marys. The building is old, and just a lot of stuff going on in it.No one would really consider it an academic building.</p>

16

<p>LOLOLOL just depends what class you’re in… old falvey classrooms suck</p>

<p>but hey the outside of buildings always cheer me up. it’s like you’re going to hogwarts</p>
