The lanes are not so poorly maintained. The bowling alley is mostly for visitors who come by to visit the university so, they dont really pay attention to its maintenance. Also, they have a mini arcade. They would switch between a DDR and PIU machine a lot and its very inconsistent. The machines are almost always out of order and when asked if they are going to get serviced, you need to be careful who you ask because they can threaten to ban you from the place. Its been awhile since I visited this place, so I dont know if this experience still counts. Its hard to find good cabinets now a days and I hope they stay consistent with what they provide.

Its cheap and in Student Center East. The machines are a bit outdated & broken down but the dance one, my favorite,v still works. The alley lanes themselves are a bit lousy- pins fall on their own and its easy to get an inflated score with that. Theres a variety of balls by weight. the staff is friendly and always willing to help.

It seems like it would be a solid inexpensive place to bowl, but they have a real maintenance issue here. Several Lanes were broken, and the lanes that we were on required attention from staff frequently to keep working. Also, both air hockey tables and the foosball were out of service.

The bowling system is slightly outdated but otherwise the place is awesome! And especially having it inside the school, it makes a good stress relief during the day. Also, the bowling balls are all chopped up and uneven but this bowling alley is used alot so I understand.

Laid back atmosphere, not too crazy, and inexpensive. Great for parties since you can bring your own food and drinks (non-alcoholic). Hosted my sons 4th birthday party there with the family and everyone loved the venue.

16 lanes and 11 pool tables plus a few random arcade machines. Open to non-students as well and not very crowded. Good prices and nice staff.

Very nice and respectable staff. Place is in the process of being updated but thats cool. Abd the prices are great along with the hours...

Had to change Lane 4 times, no oil on the floor so I wouldnt slide when I rolled the ball and we were the only ones actually bowling

Every semester I feel like they increased the prices by 50¢ I do lime the improvement of the pool tables though!

Cheap games, especially with a student ID. Place is dirty though, and the equipment is old and sometimes buggy.

Nice and cheep but we kept on having to reset the pins because there would not be enough pins being put down.
