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.

Very clean, very nice looking. Interesting mix between classic and new-age architecture.

The entire campus and buildings were clean and well-maintained; many of the buildings looked brand new.

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.

All was clean, well lit, freshly painted.

There wasn't trash littering the grounds and the bathrooms were clean enough.

From what I could see both times I went, everything seemed great.

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.

Sparkling clean-- even in NYC!

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).

While there during the summer, had some problems with cleaning staff. But I think they just didn't like my suite mates.

Everything was very well kept. The buildings were magnificent, especially once I stepped inside.

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.

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.

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.
