It's a new semester with many new exciting changes at Texas State, but, for
students, the hassle of finding parking remains. Anthony Sifuentes has more in
this Bobcat Update.

Parking is still scarce as commuters find themselves driving all around campus,
looking for a spot. For many, it can take nearly half an hour to find an empty
space. A couple of commuters, seniors Darin Gosnell and Avron Fernandes, find
the situation annoying as it complicates their daily schedules:

There are actually plenty of parking spaces, but few that are designated for
students. Some areas require a certain color sticker which many students lack.
More frustrating for students is that many reserved parking slots go unoccupied
and those designated for students are filled up very early in the day.
Occasionally one disregards the rules and parks in a restricted area, only
to be penalized for it.
Gosnell and Fernandes say the University should make parking more accessible.

As alternatives to parking, some students are bicycling, using Bobcat Tram,
having friends drop them off, or, in some cases, simply walking.
