Parking Sucks

I think everyone here knows that the parking situation pretty much sucks at ICC. I mean come on, 11,000 students most of which drive with no where near enough parking spots. Then we have an over abundance of staff parking. Can the students legally park there though. Hell No!! Plus there are no shuttle buses on fridays. I guess they want me to show up at 7:30 am to make my 10:00 class, when I'm forced to park at the east campus. Then last friday it's raing like crazy, and low and behold....no damn bus. Can i find a parking spot near the building or catch that elusive shuttle bus? Fuck no, I get to sit in math class, drenched.

Maybe the school should consider fixing this problem. It would probably help with attendance and make students actually want to show up for class. I have a few people in my classes who frequently miss or are tardy because of the parking issues. I feel that it is unacceptable that we're spending all this money on our education, to have problems making it to class.

There are more than a few ways to solve this problem in my opinion. One thing that I think would help is to run the shuttle bus on fridays. The drivers complain that they dont have very man y riders on fridays, so they don't run. What about the students who are forced to park out in the east campus? With the millions of dollars the college is bringing in from us, I think they can afford to pay the driver's meniscule checks for a few people. Another option would be to give the teachers assigned parking spots and free up some of the unused spots for student parking. Although I took the chance of getting a ticket; I parked in staff parking last friday. The staff parking was almost empty when I parked there, and there were still many spots available when I got out of class. That should tell you that you dont need that much staff parking. Yet I spend 35 minutes crusing student parking to no evail. They could also require psrking stickers for students, and tow anyone who doesn't have one. Towing cars would be more money that could be finagled out of us. The stickers should be on a first come, first serve basis. The final option that I looked at was tearing up some of the grass out there and developing another parking lot. I don't know about everyone else but Im here for education, not to take in the scenery. I just needed to get this shito ff my chest cuz I've been fuming since friday. I'm almost positive that I'm not alone on the subject. Peace, Love, and chicken grease.
