Turner Overcrowding Leads Students Outdoors

The University of Mississippi's Turner Center, which is an on-campus recreation center, is taken full advantage of by students and faculty year round. Due to overcrowding, though, students find it difficult to use the facility for all it's worth. Student Andrea Smith shares about her past experiences at the Turner Center.


The overcrowding is in large part caused by the high numbers of students taking up the limited space the fitness center has to offer. Turner Center employee and trainer, Rachel Henry, believes that the Turner Center is much too small for the university and its students.



Lamar Park, which is near campus, is an alternative place for exercisers to go, since it has a long track to walk, run or bike around. Professor Ranjith Dharmaratne says that he enjoys jogging at Lamar Park rather than the Turner Center.
