AUC has two buildings....the school and the dorms. If you include the gym, we have 3. The dorms are pretty nice....not too much to complain about there. The school building is not in bad shape, it's just that they're not keeping up with other schools.
The lecture halls are quickly becoming outdated, the technology is past outdated, and they are about out of space. There is not a lot of study space, and almost no comfortable study space (if you don't want to study in wooden chairs, you're not gonna want to study on campus). The computer lab only has about 30 computers which are slow, and many are not fully functional. They talk about computerized testing, but it's going to be a long time before that happens. They also talk about building new lecture halls, but again, a long time before that can happen.
Class sizes keep expanding, but facilities do not. It is now to the point that a bunch of those chair/desk jobs have to be brought in to accommodate the number of students for exams. A couple of the lecture halls are flat, they all have columns in the middle of them, and depending on where you sit, it may be impossible to see all of the projector screen. This may not be a problem if they'd install the new plasma TV's they keep talking about, but the TVs they've got now are worthless.
Getting the idea?
