Students should stop crying and walk more or get a bike. Better for the environment, their health, and

Stupendous?

Why? Is it hard to walk or bike to take the bus? It is more affrodable for all. Seems rather stupid to be upset about

Baron

Sure, walking or biking from dorm to campus is perfectly fine and feasible.

Your premise is wrong. Most people that live on campus, don't need a car to do

Baron

Most universities have significantly better services available so students don't have to go off campus.

Or at the very least, shuttles

It took me 15 minutes to find a parking spot today, and 15 minutes to walk after

Hard to carry groceries in a backpack.

I can't tell what your well reasoned response is referring to.

Have you ever lived in NYC or Chicago or other big city? How do the kids at Northwestern get groceries?

Baron

From what I remember from my visit to the University of Chicago and Northwestern...

Eh...it wasn't that hard at all. Roommates were generally cool bout taggin.

I carry groceries with a backpack every time I go shopping

Yep. If you're an 18 year old with a car, I don't feel bad about you walking

Jezza

3/26/17 10:25pm

By that logic, so should the faculty and staff

KingDave

3/26/17 10:32pm

Faculty and staff should have the best and closest parking and then students. It is a perk for employees and you want

Baron

This is about parking for residents of heritage not students who live

Littlerich

3/26/17 10:41pm

Don't see why that changes things. If you want a space outside your front door, live off campus.

Baron

So, "We want freshmen to live on campus so come live in our shiny new dorms with full kitchens but no meal plan...

When I was a student I had to get from class to work in tight

gwalker

3/26/17 10:47pm

I understand that but I don't think that means the univeristy needs to provide parking close to campus. People

Baron

3/26/17 11:03pm

The cost factor may well be the case. And I'm certainly not saying the students

You and the administration have a poor grasp on how the typical 18-22 year old

The new engineering building will not have a parking garage like the LSB...

Most freshmen can't afford and therefore don't have cars. I loved heritage

Jezza

3/26/17 10:23pm

If you can afford Heritage, you can likely afford a car

Hank Rearden

3/26/17 10:25pm

That just isn't true.

I'm not debating the price, I'm contesting the affordability of a car

Jezza

3/26/17 10:44pm

I'll concede that if in determining the cost of the car, the opportunity cost

Hank Rearden

3/26/17 10:59pm

I would consider the oc of not owning a car exceptionally low when you leave

Many freshman can't afford a car, but that doesn't mean their parents or

ColtsCoug

Most of the juniors and seniors at my high school had a car

KingDave

3/26/17 10:34pm

I had a car in HS. It was really my parents car like 95% of teenagers

Jezza

3/26/17 10:43pm

If you have a car, live somewhere else.

Yeah this is a ridiculous complaint

OC Coug

She's lucky there is parking at all

I buy the car parking argument if the University is willing to do its part to make it work.
