Parking should be a bigger issue
Dear Editor,
Why isn’t more being done about the parking on and around campus? Parking is the main thing the students complain about. The article printed in last week’s issue of The Colonnade stated that freshmen who park at the Irwin Street Parking Lot feel unsafe walking back to their dorms. Even the Public safety section of the paper reports that a girl had some creepy guy “expose his genital area” to her, so obviously Milledgeville hasn’t proven itself to be a safe place to wander around. I know during my freshman year, my friends and I made many spontaneous late night trips and I think if we had to walk that far in the dark just to get to our cars, a lot of those trips and memories would have never been made.
GCSU needs to provide more safety lights and emergency buttons out there if they are going to force the freshmen who live in the dorms to walk out there with creepy people just to get to their cars. Or maybe, go back to making the commuting students park there since they only have to walk from there during the day. I guess the school is just trying to combat the freshmen 15 provided by Saga. Who knows?
Sincerely,
Rachel Alderman
