Problems with parking at Bucks

Problems+with+parking+at+Bucks

As Bucks students, we are provided with our own student parking lots, but finding a space can become stressful at times, and can lengthen the time it takes to get to class.

Say one day you are running late and you end up getting a parking spot that is really far from campus. That means you have to sprint to make it to class on time.

In the case of bad weather, it can be very difficult for students to commute to school, let alone find parking.

Katrina Rodak, 18, a criminal justice major at Bucks, says, “Depending on where your first class is, each student should have assigned parking lots, it would make it much easier.”

One idea might be to have a bus that runs from the parking lots to the buildings during the day. Asked about that idea, Rodak says, “yes, we should have a commuter bus when the weather is bad because it would cause less injuries and be safer. Also kids wouldn’t be late to class.”

Abbie Bass, 18, a dental hygiene major, says, “I think parking can be stressful at times because in my case I have to leave my house earlier to make sure I get a parking spot and get to class on time. I do like the idea of getting a commuter bus for the bad weather because it will make everything run smoother and parents and students won’t have to worry.”

Some people actually like the way parking works at Bucks. Jessica Garvey, 18, nursing major is one of those people. Garvey says, “I like the parking; I find it nice and easy, easy to follow. The only bad thing about it is how far you have to walk to your class is if you get a parking spot that is far.”

Garvey also believes that Bucks should have a commuter bus. She says, “I think they should get a commuter bus for when it is bad weather so people aren’t late to their classes.”

So how about it? Who else thinks an on-campus commuter bus would be a great idea?
