Campus Issue

A big problem on this campus that I think most any student would agree with me on is parking. Unless you pay $320 a semester to have a parking spot in a garage you have to find a parking spot on the street. And when you are done playing "Where's Waldo?" for a parking spot because they are so limited, you still have to pay for the time you are parked there. There definitely needs to be a better parking system for students and their guests. If a student has a guest over for the night on a weekday and their guest does not go here, where should they park? Should they have to go out every few hours to feed the meter? If the university wants to charge why not make them pay a standing fee for the parking garage to park in? On the weekends parking is free on the street but there is such a limited number of spots that it does not really make a difference and the parking garages are not open. There has to be a better system than the one being used to allow for more parking, for students and non-students, and especially at a cheaper cost.

Of course with the limited space there is not much that can be done about the parking spots on campus. And it is college so almost everything that we use here is going to cost something. The university has to make their money in everyway possible.
