Outrageous Parking: Common Problem Among FSU Students

Many students have no other choice than to keep a car at school. These students are generally commuter students or students that work off campus and need a car to get there. A common problem for students who keep their cars on campus is the cost of parking.

Keeping a car on campus for five hundred dollars a semester is a little out of control; and that’s exactly what it is: out of our control. The cost of parking on campus is a great amount of money that many students do not have. However, there is really nothing students can do in order to get the administration of Framingham State University to lower the cost of parking on campus. Therefore, they must deal with it and pay for their parking each semester without complaint.

I am absolutely against the enforcement of the parking cost at Framingham State. It is not fair that many students who cannot afford to park here are being asked to pay this much for it. It would be very beneficial to the students if the cost of parking on campus was decreased.

Think about it: we pay for housing, classes, meals, books, and everything else we get on this campus. Why is it necessary to make students pay that much for parking? It is not like the school is not getting enough money from us in the first place; the fact that we spend all of our life savings on our education should be reason enough to go easy on the parking cost in my opinion. If the cost is not decreased then a lot of students will not even be able to afford to go here.
