A new semester begins, and with it comes that perpetual issue of where to find parking on campus. Monte ASH-CAR has more in this Bobcat Update.
Finding available parking on campus continues to challenge students at Texas State.
Students who commute often ride buses to campus, but they soon discover that it's necessary to arrive early.
(Insert Haylee’s Sound bite here she says in it that she has to leave early to get to school on time).
Parking on campus is zoned. The red zones are designated for faculty only. Commuters have specific lots where they can park. And those who live in dorms may only park where residential permits are allowed.
Using the university's tram system can be frustrating because the buses fill up fast. Getting on board is NOT a sure thing, and, as a result, some students arrive to class late.
Businesses near the university don't allow parking in their lots for non-customers.
Attendants monitor the parking and will call a wrecker if they find cars left by students who've gone to class. One alternative is to pay for parking at the L-B-J Student Center where commuters are welcomed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
