Every student needs a to-go to area to release some sort of stress they carry along with all the school work. For example; the recreation center at Oakland University. The Recreation center is located on 2200 N. squirrel road in its own building. The facility hours are Monday-Thursdays; 5:30 am – 11:00 pm and Friday 5:30 a.m. - 9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. You can also see a detailed view of their schedule on the website.oakland.edu/campusrec/hours (“The recreation center”).
In a survey done to 20 random students, all students surveyed had an idea of the location of this center totaling it to 20/yes and 0/No. The recreation center is divided into 6 different useable areas which are table tennis, basketball, fitness center, racquetball courts, indoor tracks and the Aquatic center. The close call was between the basketball (13) court and fitness center (14) when asked which one of the services you would use. Twelve of the 20 students said they stay at the recreation center for one to two hours and the majority vote of 7 students who said they go to the center a total of 3 times a week. The final question was about the time of the day a student would go to the recreation center and 16 said afternoon rather than morning or noon.
What Deandre Davidson observed and know is that the recreation center is only free to Oakland students. This is located between the baseball field and the area where basketball team has home games. With knowing this important fact, this will help you find out where the home game will be held. At the center, you will find a white board as entering which has some important upcoming events that will be held there with the timing and dates that is important for students to find out about those events. As entering, when looking to the left there are three work desks located inside. These desks are for signing in or asking any type of question or information needed.
In an interview with Ahmed Alturaiki, he gave me a reflection about the gym and how people use it after I asked him too. He said the fitness center is great, lots of different equipment available for workout. I asked
