Problem on Campus Parking on campus
As a student driver myself the mere mention of the issue ignites controversy among resident students, commuter students, campus security and local police departments. As ISU expand their student body and begin to run short on space, parking availability is usually one of the first things to be sacrificed. They often issue many more parking permits than available spaces. In addition, some believe that numerous parking lots will take away from the appearance of the campus. There are defiantly changes that can be made to improve parking at ISU.
Compared to larger universities that restrict freshmen from having vehicles on campus or those that even use a satellite parking system where students are bused from the parking lots to campus, parking at ISU is great. ISU parking is inexpensive and relatively convenient.
An ISU student parking permit currently costs $85, or $7.08 per month from August to August. Honestly, that is pretty cheap parking. Even for the students who don't use their parking permit during the summer months, the price works out to $9.44 per month.
The biggest problem, though, is the lack of available spaces near campus for ISU students, faculty and staff. With increased enrollment, the situation could get out of hand.
Although ISU work parking fees into tuition and other charges, many faculty, staff and students are forced to pay for parking permits up front. With limited parking charge especially high prices for both faculty and students. The parking systems, and most of the changes involve more restrictions for student drivers. But even though students tend to be the ones most affected concerning parking restrictions, faculty members are being hurt by parking restrictions as well. Students who receive parking tickets and other types of fines will eventually have to pay their fines if they plan on
