874 Words4 Pages

The “Parking Lot Problem” sounds like it may be just a general and very broad topic, but just ask any student who drives that attends Marist College. The issue with such limited parking here at Marist is just one of the many questions that emerge from the student population. With the student body population on the rise over the course of a few years, the parking spaces available have not been able to keep up at the same rate. With the dilemma of there being not enough parking here on campus growing so rapidly, I decided to interview a few different people who are members of the Marist community. They all have experienced the parking situation quite different, but know that there needs to be something done as soon as possible. While the problem …show more content…

Charles, a sophomore who lives on the west side of campus in the Upper West Cedar housing, whom has a parking pass still finds it outlandish that there is never any parking when it is time to head to class. Charles has told me, “To be honest I think that it is all just a scam buying a parking pass for the school year. You are just saving some dollars for tickets by purchasing the parking pass. It just covers the $25 tickets that security hands out. No, I don’t blame them because they’re doing their job. I just wish they would realize that, yes, I am going to park in a spot that I shouldn’t if I’m running late to class and its much closer than my designated parking lot. It is just a high risk high reward type of thing”. It has gotten to the point where the tickets are not even a concern to many students anymore, it is good that their willing to risk getting a ticket if it means being on time for class. Charles noticed that even with his only night class of the week, that is when the problem is at its all time peak. Night classes, host adults who come from work along with the professors who run the class. The timing conflict seems to be a problem with Charles schedule, but even students with no car on campus know the pain that drivers go through. When parents come up it can be just as much a problem or even worse because it just adds to the traffic throughout the campus. Milan, sees the problem a

The author begins by acknowledging Dallas's progress in terms of park space but quickly emphasizes the city's shortcomings. The author focuses on the areas the city needs to improve.

We are writing this letter to propose solutions to the lack of parking and large amount of traffic on the Millersville University campus. This proposal will focus on making parking spaces on and near campus easier to find for students who have to drive to campus every day. Parking and traffic on campus is often a nightmare for students who commute. Too often, these students are forced with two choices: to park in a space reserved for University faculty and risk getting a parking ticket, or to drive around campus looking for a commuter-designated space and risk being late for class.

“There are 1500 other students filling the hallways and stairwells of a four story building.” Then you have to get out of the school parking lot, but the parking lot is encircled by the school bus loop, so you can’t get your car out until the buses fill up and leave. Which, Adnan wrote, “took about ten to fifteen minutes.” The piece of evidence I found supports my claim because it clearly states that if you were to get out of class, halls

In this letter, the author argues that all students should be required to take the driver’s education course at Centerville High School which is a mandatory program sponsored by the high school to solve the teenage driving problems in the town of Centerville. He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing. First, the author assumes that Centerville High School students should take driver’s program because several accidents in and around Centerville have involved teenagers. However, the evidence the author needs to provide that the accidents may have been caused only by Centerville High School students.

Students must pay $3.50 every time they need to park. This can add up quickly especially if you have classes every day. I must say the size of the classes at the community college has really benefited me. It gives the teacher more time to assess questions I, or another student might have. Canning mentioned in the article that community colleges have many campuses throughout the state.

Many students also have after-school jobs, which can be crucial for their financial well-being and work experience. Altering school start times could affect their ability to work these jobs, as they may need to leave earlier or later than before, or may not be able to work at all due to schedule conflicts. Switching school start times could also affect transportation arrangements for students who rely on buses, carpools, or other modes of transportation to get to school. Changing the start times could mean that buses need to be rescheduled or routes need to be adjusted, which could create confusion and inconvenience for students and their

With parallel parking being my new favorite thing I was almost certain I was going to pass my road test. I waited in line for what seemed like hours, I watched as people took off, then came back within 5 minutes of their test time. As more and more people came back, failing, I was growing more and more concerned and worried about how I was going to do, and if I was going to pass. I went through it in my head a million times as I waited, I told myself over and over that I could do it, and that I was a good driver, but nothing could reassure me as I saw for what seemed like the 50th person come out of their cars upset, giving their parents the wheel. It was my turn, as my driving instructor got out of the car, he apologized and said, “i’m

It is in walking distance from the school and could easily be demolished for a parking garage. It could be specifically for Point Park students and faculty and the only way to get in is to scan your ID. This would solve all the college kids problems of saying “There’s never any parking”, “I’m always late for my classes because I drive around for ten minutes looking for a spot.” or “I’m seriously broke from how much I feed the meters” (Kercher). They are already paying enough in tuition, room and board, and their meal plans that it could cover the cost to build a parking garage.

Imagine you are running behind schedule due to heavy traffic, but finally arrive onto campus with mere minutes to spare. You avoided road rage to suddenly notice that there is no where you can possibly park. If you have not had the pleasant opportunity to experience such a stressful scenario, then you are very fortunate. However, if you have experienced the hassle of overcrowded parking lots, then you are aware and can relate to the issues of this matter. The campus parking lots are utilized by both faculty, staff, and students for the duration of that day, but by night the lots are as a deserted island inhabited by only those that reside on campus.
