- DRDaniel RSep 20, 20255.0Basketball is awesome
- JEJantzen EarlSep 1, 20251.0Scheduling team is horrible. They never give time to play badminton. We schedule and then are kicked off by other sports it’s ridiculous. Been trying to fix the issue for years and they never change. I have loads of beef with the RB building they are not nice people.
- EJElizabeth JohnsonAug 31, 20254.0The facilities themselves are older, but there’s lots of stuff to do here. Great variety! The layout and room numbers are very confusing at times.
- OBOliver BiglerNov 15, 20225.0Building is great. They built a long time ago and it’s still there. And it has the same smell 30 years later that it had when I was a student.
