I was looking at your recent blog, and noticed that there wasn't anything about school appeal. Students look at the campus to see whether they would like to go to school here. The school needs some serious attention to landscaping and over all school appeal. For example the residents hall parking area has island parking strips filled with rocks. If these were replaced with grass the parking area would have a nice face lift. Also trees are lacking on campus. The track and surrounding area needs some attention as does the tennis courts. What good are teenis courts that no one can use because they aren't maintained. Please look into these issues and respond. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I have to agree with Nathan and his comment. It is wonderful to see the plan becoming a success but there is still need for a “face lift” on campus. Even though we are taught to not judge a book by its cover, potential students judge O.I.T. on appearance. Thank you for your commitment to students and their success.
I was checking out in the bookstore today and came across a sign up sheet to ban having a private company come in and set up new residents halls. I started to think about whether or not to sign up and came to the conclusion not to. The reason why I chose not to was because the residents halls are old out dated and quite frankly a horrible college experience the live in instead of a positive one. So if OIT doesn't step up and add new dorms than by all means have a private company come in and add new dorms. Would I perfer having OIT build them and run them sure. But if I have a chose between living in these dorms that we have now, and having new dorms that are newer, bigger and more functional than I choose having a private investor come in and build some new dorms.
While on the subject of the residents hall lets talk about the food issue. Now I am pretty sure that you personally weren't responsible for closing the market place on the weekend, but What were they thinking? You want to know why now one eats there on the Weekends? Its because the food is old and boring. Last year what did you get on the weekends? You got Breakfast from morning until night. Who wants to eat breakfast for all of their meals. Even during the week the food is bad. Look at Subway. During the school day for example think about how many people go to Subway instead of eating at the Market place. The reason why, the food quite frankly is the same ole thing every day of the week. Maybe not the exact item, but pretty close to it. If you look at any of the main Universities they have a variety of food to select from and they are open early and stay open late. Not to mention that they are open on the weekends. So please change up the menu and open up on the weekends.
Thanks for you consideration
I absolutely agree about the Res. Hall though I've never lived there. I would also prefer to have OIT build and maintain the building on our own but we just got the funding to do the CHP. If we are going to be attracting all these new people to OIT because of our new CHP, shouldn't we have a nice place for them to live? If we don't build the res hall now, we will have missed that window of opportunity. I also think it is a big negative to have the Marketplace closed on weekends. I don't have any solutions on what should be done but I know it is not the most student friendly thing this campus has done...
