3 - Good	wrldtravlr September 05 2011	Low Library seemed a little dusty, unkept. Everyone kept tripping on the rug going into the conference room.Student library also seemed sort of old and dingy; maybe it was all the marble everywhere? [View Full Report]

1 - Poor	skipsmom February 17 2009	This has got to be the dirtiest college campus in America, and the buildings are poorly maintained. The window frames were all peeling paint and there was trash on the ground. Gym is pathetic. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	McMath December 27 2008	No constructions or repairs and the campus is very clean. Might be a negative thing because of the lack of development. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	Hatoyama December 01 2008	Aren't all colleges just a tad dingy? But the athletics complex didn't even have that funky smell! Everything was quite clean. [View Full Report]

3 - Good	wmmk March 30 2008	Everything was OK. Nothing especially noteworthy in this area. Some construction in front of Journalism, and Mudd's exterior wasn't in the best of shape. Carman looked kind of fugly. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	arachnophobia12 August 27 2007	The entire campus and buildings were clean and well-maintained; many of the buildings looked brand new. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	karen61990 July 29 2007	Everything looked great. It was summer so it might be a little less clean during the year though. The buildings are old but in good shape and maintenance seems constant. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	skylandsmom July 11 2007	All was clean, well lit, freshly painted. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	seempand June 26 2007	There wasn't trash littering the grounds and the bathrooms were clean enough. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	MLeigh June 24 2007	From what I could see both times I went, everything seemed great. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	fruitloops89 June 14 2007	Now, the dormitories were well maintained, but the fact that the buildings were old made it seem like they were rarely cleaned. Some parts of the buildings were very dusty as well. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	blondie625 June 13 2007	Sparkling clean-- even in NYC! [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	advantagious February 24 2007	I liked all of the academic buildings that we saw. I will say that the gym left something to be desired (it seems that college gyms are either brand new and perfect or old/ugly/depressing). [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	brand_182 August 29 2006	Everything was very well kept. The buildings were magnificent, especially once I stepped inside. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	ubetteraccept_me August 16 2006	They were nice, but the dining hall didn't have air conditioning, which I guess wouldn't be a big deal during the school year, but it was kind-of annoying in the summer. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	senioritis42 August 13 2006	It's cleaner than most of the city, but it's by no means free of grit and stray wads of gum. Everything indoors was pretty clean, but not immaculate. The campus was pretty clean, all things considered, and it didn't feel remarkably dirty. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	dot_parker August 12 2006	The school was in remarkable shape for its age. When I last visited there was quite a bit of work being done on the older buildings and paths. Which is good, because I saw someone trip and fall flat on her face on one of the more bumpy walkways. [View Full Report]
