Living in Byrnes this year has been a blast but its no the best place to try and study. It always sucks when you are trying to study in your dorm room and can't because you are too busy trying to catch the lady bugs that are flying around and landing on you. There is always the study room though... if its not locked most of the time. The study room is always randomly locked for some reason or someone is in there and has it locked because they are in there with a girlfreind "studying". However, there are some times when the study room is open and is a great place to study, until people on the hall realize it is open and decide that would be a great place to hang out and talk while pretending to study. If you are trying to do well in college it is not recomended that you study in Byrnes because you will not get much done if anything.
Now that freshmen have to park out at the Kite Hill parking lot, Clemson makes a lot of money off parking tickets. I did not get one ticket first semester, but now that I have to park a mile away from where I live I have received five tickets this semester. I also have many friends who have recieve multiple parking tickets this semester. It is such a pain to walk a mile just to get your car. Once you have it out you really dont feel like putting it back until you absolutely have to. The reason I have five tickets this semester is because I have had my car out a few hours before you are allowed to park in green spots and have not felt like parking it just to get it out in a few hours. So, I take a risk and hope I don't get a ticket for parking in a green spot for a few hours. It is also stupid that you cannot park in the horseshoe and sheep barn green spots until after 7:30 everyday which has led to most of my tickets. Clemson parking services are stealing students money and something needs to change.
