“I honestly think it might stay the same, it might not. I think it’s depending on how many people keep attending school. So if they drop, I think parking is going to be better for us. It’s going to suck for them, but better for us. But I’m still going to keep coming early. We get here maybe at like 7, and our class starts at 8. Just to avoid all of that.”

“I’m not too sure if there’s hope, hopefully there is, I’m going to assume there is, maybe after the first month of school. By then, people are dropping; they realize that the classes that they took earlier aren’t the ones that they want. So I’m hoping it’s going to simmer down a bit. I come earlier in the mornings, and I actually show up an hour before class just to find parking. I get here at around 6:30 to 6:50 in the morning just for parking for class at 8.”

“Personally, I think it’s pretty bad. I’ve been here for three years now, and when I first got here it looked pretty bad. But when I first started here, I never commuted here. I took the bus, so I never really experienced it myself. But, once I started commuting here, I was like, wow. I’m better off taking the bus. I started commuting going into my second year, around the summer time. And in the summer time, it wasn’t really that packed obviously. No one was here, so I had parking for days you know? But once fall came and all the people came back, aw man. It was horrible. Personally, I think it’s gotten worse every year, because I’ve noticed now there’s cars parked from the beginning of the street light all the way to the back of where Rose Hills starts. And now across the street too, if you know those businesses, those parking lots – I think a year ago they started putting signs saying private property and private parking, and now they’ve been getting people off their property because of the fact that students have been taking up their parking lot. No hope.”
