Are there any types of problems on Campus at your college or university?

Question

If so, what do you think should be done to improve the situation?

What about the course curriculumn? The availablity of courses for students with jobs, or the availablility of classes for the semester that you need to graduate?

Answer 1

Parking is the biggest issue on my campus. Right now there is so much construction going on that many additional spaces are taken with that - which compounds the problem. The university is developing more space but it will take time. A possible solution I see would be to offer more distance courses which would require less time on campus. Less bodies to fill the spaces.

Answer 2

For me, parking is the biggest problem. The university garages are way overpriced. They charge around $207/quarter which equals out to $621/year for a garage pass. Because my campus is located in a somewhat urban area, there is little street parking. You have to constantly drive in circles waiting for a spot to open up. And most spots are metered parking. They monitor these meters very closely too. If you are even 10 minutes late, they will write you a ticket.

I think it would help to build an additional garage and charge less for garage passes. With the rising costs of education, housing, gas, etc. it is very difficult to afford the parking rates.

Answer 3

Yes. A lot of the Asian students don't want to keep to the right when walking down a corridor or sidewalk. They sometimes walk directly into you.
The administration needs to tell foreign students, in their own language if necessary, that in America we walk on the right hand side of the corridor or sidewalk. I've been walked into several dozen times over the past four years.

Answer 4

too much drinking, but thats at any college, but I think they should just make it a wet-campus and let it be done instead of trying to not let it happen.
