No Parking

Every time I come to campus to go to class, go to fike, or any other reason, I have to park like two miles away an make the grueling hike to where I am trying to go.  Trying to find an open parking spot on campus is like trying to cut a bald guy’s hair, it is impossible.  And once you do find one, you have to walk for ten minutes uphill to get anywhere on campus.  It is ridiculous!  It shocks me that Clemson has such a terrible parking system.  Nearly 20,000 students attend Clemson, and that is a LOT of cars.  I understand they only have so much real estate, but give me a break.  The University needs to prioritize parking much higher than they do.  You cannot expect me to believe that there isn’t some outdated building or area that they could not convert into student parking.  But regardless if they want to or not, at the rate Clemson is growing, they are going to have to make some drastic changes soon.  I just hope they make the changes while I’m still in school!
