Parking on Campus
I know that a lot of people commute from as far as Pittsburgh, so having to get to classes here at Slippery Rock is already time consuming and possibly stressful. For those students who have their own place a little bit closer to campus, like myself, we have places close to campus so we do not have to worry about certain situations like time. Finding parking on campus is horrible. I understand that walking to class is great exercise, but when it is raining or when there is a blizzard outside, walking to class is not the smartest idea. Everyday I drive on campus, no matter what part of campus it is, I always see Staff Parking spots open but never spots for student parking. There are over 8,000 students that are enrolled here at Slippery Rock. Not everyone drives, but most people do. We need to speak up and resolve this issue. Slippery Rock is only getting bigger, so they need to make changes! Can anyone think of any ways to help this from happening? All ideas are welcome!!
I feel you on the parking Kailin. Although I think you need a car to actually complain about the parking. Anyway, the other day I went to go to my class at McKay and I was looking for a parking spot and drove around looking for 30 minutes! I ended up not finding a spot and couldn't go to class! We need more parking if they expect us to pay for their expensive parking passes.

ReplyDeleteHey you two. I can say I agree. However in prior science classes I've had, Geology to be more specific, a previous student of Dr. B’s has had surveyed the cars in the parking lot and found that a very high percentage were cars from Campus Side and South Rock (stickers on the back). So Slippery Rock was going to create a parking pass system that gets less expensive in correlation to the distance of your home/apartment. Which in my opinion may not be the fairest way of going about things because yeah, weather is a big issue. All in all, you just gotta leave early enough you'll be dandy.
