...aren’t too flashy. “It’s not that different,” said David K. Lee ’04, who is currently a student at Harvard Medical School. “The layout is almost exactly the same. At least the weight rooms are mostly in the same places as they were. Except for the smell of fresh paint, it’s not that huge of a difference.” Some said they weren’t too enthused because they’d been hoping for televisions over elliptical...
