I just want to say that not all Troy University students care about parking right at the entrance to the academic buildings. Some of us just want a parking spot, period. I arrive on campus one full hour before class and it takes me 50 minutes to find a spot and that is from pure luck that someone is leaving when I drive by. We pay $35.00 for a parking permit, but it is very difficult to justify paying that when you can't even get a parking spot. You drive by on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday during class time and you will not find a parking spot anywhere, and that is including the one across from the football stadium. Every single legal parking spot is taken and people have to make their own parking spot somewhere on the side of the road, then getting fined for doing so. Before you start talking about students and their issues with wanting a parking spot in front of buildings, you go look for your own spot and see if you find one. I agree that the university could do more with their money than to purchase those building, such as find some land to use for parking lots, but those people in IT deserve someplace to work that isn't leaking or growing mold in the ceiling.
