Parking at BSU, Possible or Not
With the diversity of students that attend the University, there are a variety of challenges and advantages that are unique to each sector. Parking on the Boise State University Campus can be a difficult and frustrating but with a little bit of help and information, you can maneuver your way anywhere.
Parking is a function that is necessary and required by almost everyone that visits or uses the Boise State University campus. This may range from teachers to visitors to employees. It includes students on campus that reside in the resident halls, apartments and University suites. Parking is especially critical for students that do not reside on campus. These would be part-time or full time students. The category that I fall into is what I refer to as the non-traditional student. I believe that the campus is composed of at least 50% of non-traditional students. These are individuals that have been out of college for some time and are returning to school, students that are trying to fit continuing their education into their work and family schedule. The Morrison Center is located on the university campus and has many special events that require the use of the university parking facilities. The Taco Bell arena will often support music concerts and other special events. As the university is well known for the football team, we cannot forget that parking is also used for all sporting events.
There are many types of transportation that are available to get from one end of campus to the other. Many individuals use cars and this is my main mode of transportation. As the campus is comprised of a large population of non-traditional students, teachers and employees, I would say that an automobi...

...so permitted all day long on Saturdays and Sundays”. The campus parking map shows all of the general and reserved areas that this applies to. Inter-session parking is allowed. “Inter-session parking is an extended period of time when cross parking is permitted.” Inter-session parking is allowed during Thanksgiving holiday week, when classes are not scheduled during winter and spring break, and any holiday the university is closed. It is also available between the summer and fall semester.
By looking at the parking that is available, you have to compare the cost of each type of parking with your individual situation. Parking can be found with minimal research to fit your time and cost constraints.

The number of complaints relating to Cal State Fullerton’s parking is out of control. Considering the prices CSU Fullerton charges to park at their school, students should be guaranteed a parking space. Students are currently outraged regarding the Cal State Fullerton’s parking conditions. Some students even decide to not attend the school based on the pricing and availability of parking. A school losing an immense number of students only because of the parking situation is insane. Cal State Fullerton should reduce the pricing towards parking for reasons of availability, cost, and profit.
Is the Loop Bus as beneficial to students as it should be? The SGA Loop Bus is a service provided to Duquesne University students by the Student Government Association. It is a three fleet bus system that provides transportation from Duquesne University to Southside, Oakland, and Waterfront that is operated on Friday and Saturday during the academic school year. It is the subject of one of the major gripes with Duquesne University and is not quite what it is cracked up to be. There are many consequences due to the inconsistencies of the Loop Bus making it not only irritable to wait for but places you in danger.
...t their tickets in advance and get pumped to have a good time. My recommendations for tailgating would be all in the advertisement, CCU could make flyers that advertise for people to come out and tailgate before the games. Also regarding tailgating, advertise at local restaurants that they will be attending our tailgates, or even bring in more restaurants and local food places to come to the game and sell their food. There’s nothing wrong with having more food available at tailgates. My recommendations for the fan aspect of games and tailgates would be to do more fun things for the reserved tailgating they seem to be more on their own than anything, whereas if CCU put games or food by them it could make it more fun. Also, for fans CCU could make it rewarding and if they came to a certain amount of home games they could win a free Coastal football shirt or something.
...ce to become independent but also creates additional jobs for teachers. Corresponding to the new teachers being hired, they need to be able to generate good ideas. Usually, that help comes from references and resources on the internet. With that said, all classrooms in every building on the campus should be fully up to date with new technologies such as projectors and the latest Windows® software. Having such software makes the teachers’ life and students learning experience more enjoyable. Finally, to put a cherry on top of making Camden County College one of the best educational institutes would be to have more parking. Inconvenient is one word that comes to mind. A parking garage can help eliminate the stress about finding a parking spot and making it to class on time. All in all, accessible parking is another great way to make this an optimal learning environment.
The ULL bus stop is something students and faculty walk by and use every day. It is a very visible part of ULL and has been looked passed and it is apparent that it has been neglected for years. Our Action Project is focusing on not only adding on to the bus stop, but also the renewal of what is already there. Our project topic is something that is important because the current bus stop does not meet certain needs.
Parking on Campus is a Pain New students entering Concordia College are not permitted to have a car on campus. With each new freshman class entering every year, parking represents an issue. Concordia is as of now constrained in its parking on campus and since first year students are not permitted to have cars, the students are confronted with the problem of having no place to park or parking very a long way from their goal. There are parking issues everywhere throughout the campus, making backups in residence hall and other lots, bringing about students parking illegally to avoid from walking far distances, which can be very aggravating in the bitter cold. Parking nearer appears like the reasonable thing to do, however it is a hazard, which

Parking has been a problem on Western’s campus for a while. Only time will tell if it will get any better or not. The biggest contributing factor seems to be that freshmen are allowed to have cars, creating the dilemma of backed lots, parking somewhere else, or risking parking illegally in other spaces. Freshmen will continue to be allowed to have cars for now because WMU wants their students to have a certain level of freedom and make their own decisions. Realizing many lots will be backed can be a pain but it’s the price to pay for allowing every student to have a car on campus.
It’s a place where you could eat breakfast or lunch while watching a screen and talking to friends about current events, how our classes were going, and grades. My favorite thing to eat is the chicken strips with chips, a cookie, and occasionally ice cream. The Food Court contributes to what makes the Memorial Union stand up to its values. The lecture series is the place where intellectuals, famous activist, and lecturers go to speak. Great speakers like Ta-nehisi Coates (The Atlantic Magazine writer), Ali Velshi (MSNBC political commentator), Harriet Washington (Harvard professor in medicine), and Senator Klobuchar (United States Senator from Minnesota) have all given lectures that have blown my mind. This helps expand my knowledge and creativity. This applies to everyone, not just myself. What Iowa State does is provide equal opportunity for all people to learn which is very special to me and represents the mission statement. One person may be into politics, the other science, and the other music, no matter what our differences are we can rely on the lecture series to provide a lecture that fits our ideological
The UCA’s police department has 27 sworn officers who work to promote safety on campus. To maximize safety on campus lock your doors when ever you leave, walk in well lighted areas at night when walking with friends. If desired a UCA police will escort you on campus. All exterior doors are locked 24 hours a day for your protection so do not prop open the doors. Refrain from or minimize the use of alcohol. Alcohol plays a significant role in date rapes, fights and battery incidents, vehicle accidents and other serious
Parking by the dormitories is almost impossible. Students who live at particular dorms find themselves faced with the problem of having to park on the other side of campus. Those who live in Brown Hall, which is behind the Thompson center, have the most parking problems on campus. This is because the Thompson center is a very large building housing various departments on campus. Therefore it receives a lot of traffic all day. Visitors to the campus are taking over the parking lots around the Thompson center, which is forcing students to park other places on campus and some students chose to disregard the signs posted for reserved parking.
In college, attendance is crucial to students’ success. Being late to class can result in having less time to take a test or missing fundamental concepts that may be discussed in a classroom. Students must take responsibility by arriving on time; however, limited parking spaces and other transportation problems at many universities can cause students to be late which can result in poor academic performance. The University of Texas at San Antonio, one of most populous cities in Texas, has 29,000 enrolled students (UTSA . . .). During peak hours, one must be timely to find a parking space; many students find themselves driving in circles while hoping to find someone else leaving the campus and others wait for a shuttle bus that has a reputation of arriving late. Due to transportation problems, some students may feel unmotivated to study in the library or go to class regularly. Therefore, the University of Texas at San Antonio should improve student transportation because doing so could increase students’ academic performance.
It is hard to find parking on campus, especially during rush hours. Both students and professors are encountering trouble for this crisis. As a simple example, the parking lot next to the Sarkeys building is always full. This problem is a continuous, daily hazard. As a student required to maintain a lot of class schedules and activities, I suffer from the parking problem daily and find that others encounter the same. It is true that the university is working on a new parking garage, but during the construction process, there is no alternative way to settle the crisis. The official home page of OU parking and transportation services is a source to consider for exploring the problem.
Should students take advantage of the public transportation more seriously than owning a car? The public transportation can solves to numerous problems; the bus transportation can be a universal antidote for bigger issues such as global warming. By taking the bus can save students’ time and money, rather than students who have a car have deal with traffic and expensive parking fee. Students who own a car might experience sitting in such a long traffic, where during the traffic cars may produce noxious gases relieving particle of air that can contribute the affect to human health. The public transportation is the best solution for an enormous population of students, so students’ needs to get on the transit a try. The transition system in the
It is not important a person’s culture, occupation, or gender, everyone must travel from one place to another. Between 1800 and 1900, the way Americans moved around their world changed drastically. In the early 1800 a two-wheeled walking machine was developed by Baron von Drais for transporting people around the royal gardens quicker. Later in the same century, Karl Benz designed the first automobile with the similar principle as the bicycle, to allow people to arrive at the desired destination faster. At the present time, cars and bicycles are a common type of transportation, however, they mutually share numerous variations and similarities.
