An interesting article in THE MIRROR about the shortage of on campus parking for the students. The University is in the beginning process of a planning stage for construction of a "Parking Facility":
....According to University provided statistics, full-time fall enrollment in 2010 totaled 3,777 students. This number increased significantly by 2015, when the University reported 4,217 full-time students.
Some students have their own ideas on how to revise the parking policy on campus. Junior Aisha Khan offered, “I think that after 5 p.m., everyone should be able to park anywhere.” Students like Khan find that this method would make use of empty faculty and non-resident lots during the night and aid students like Macuch, who are frustrated with the distance they have to park from their residence halls.
“As the school is rapidly growing and accepting more students, they are going to need more parking to accommodate everyone if they are not going to make the already existing lots available for all students,” added DeStefano.
Cullen agreed as well, that parking spaces should be increased, stating, “We pay so much to go here, we should be able to park near our classrooms at least. We do not have priority as students in regards to parking.”
Pelazza identified that the University is looking into solutions to alleviate some parking related issues such as this overcrowded nature. According to Pelazza, “The University is considering the construction of a parking facility to increase the number of available spaces on campus” and that this project “is in the beginning of the planning stage.”
