Richmond Kwantlen Campus might not have the sports and recreational facilities most campuses around the country enjoy, but with the introduction of a new plasma TV and already existing pool table and other attractions, at least some students are making good use of the KSA student lounge.
Brandon Cobb, a specialist for member services at the KSA, said there are lot of students using the lounge this semester.
“Students are always asking me to put the television on a sports channel, so they can see their favorite teams play,†he said.
“I saw the Canucks whip Detroit last night. It was awesome,†said Sean Greenman, a philosophy major and a regular at the lounge. â€A bunch of us gathered here and it was pretty sweet.â€
Nick Ho, a criminology major, is excited about the coming basketball season.
“I will watch most of the games here with my friends. It is kind of nice because you don’t have to run home to see the games, plus I get to watch with most of my friends,†he said.
According to Amanda Luong, the lounge is a great place to hang out with classmates, since the Richmond campus has no other recreational and entertainment facilities where students can gather.
“I watched the Canucks game the other night here. It was really great,†the 20-year-old undergraduate said.
