Every day students are faced with a rather frustrating dilemna. Trying to find a parking spot before class sarts.
The first day of semester I was able to find parking easily. There were several spots available on the side of the campus I needed to be on. However, the next day I couldn't find any parking anywhere on that half of the campus, and ended having to park at the end of the opposite side, thus making me ten minutes late for class. If I had known it was going to be difficult I would've left earlier, but it's always a hit or miss. Empty or full.
Not to mention, those books are heavy! It's silly to mention, but when my backpack is so heavy it's setting off my sealt belt alarm in the front seat of my car, carrying them across campus seems like a daunting idea.
So now that I've complained, I offer a few solutions:
1-Have special parking permits that cost extra for those who want to pay them
2-Maybe motorized transportation around campus? It's a crazy idea but I'm sure a lot of students would enjoy it!
3-A little more student parking and a little less maintenance parking. I'll see empty slots every where every day that could be used to accomodate a few more students
Does anyone have agreements or disagreements or ideas to help the situation?
I agree that the crowded parking is ridiculous, but we all have to be aware that multiple students are coming and going through college, and so in order to get a better parking space is to arrive earlier or arrive at a later time and hope you're lucky enough to find an empty spot.
ReplyDeleteMotorized transportation sounds like it could be a good idea, but there's always the possibility of being in a long line to wait your turn because very many people would take advantage of it, and it would cost money to have such things.
