“The renovations are good in the sense that the exterior of the buildings are repainted to give the students a fresher atmosphere in campus. It would be nice if the interior of the buildings were to be renovated as well.”— Jean Marco Crisostomo (IV BS HSc)

“The renovated CTC stairs are better since it is less slippery, but the black color is a bit out of place. Anyway, I think Ateneo should have put up covered pathways from buildings like Rizal Lib to SocSci or SEC to Gonzaga so that students won’t have to worry about [getting] wet when it rains. This could have been a more useful improvement in the campus.” —Athena Marie Yu (II BS MAC)

“I think part of the opportunity of being in this school is the good programs that provide an environment conducive for learning. I believe that there’s nothing wrong with [the changes] and that the school has allocated part of its budget to spend for these. [The renovations] are in line with Ateneo’s vision of providing the best for their students.” —Herman Rochester, Theology Instructor

“[The improvements are] overrated.” —Ybonne Christine Chua (IV AB Philo)

“I like how Faura looked. The new paint took away the feel of the oldest building here in school. Now, it looks like a replica of Leong Hall.” —Robert Aldrin Ortiz (III AB MEco)

“Okay naman yung mga binago. Para rin naman lahat iyan sa mga estudyante.” —Nestor Madelozo(Security Guard)

“It was as if Ateneo’s giving the building [Faura] anunnecessary facelift!” —Christine Joy Castor (III BS ME)

“[They are] pretty good. But I can only see upgrades in aesthetics. Not really upgrades that help improve our stay like having electric fans in the locker rooms.” —Mary Imbong (II AB Comm)
