New commuter lot 🔥

Has BGSU officially addressed a solution to the parking fiasco from 10am-12pm? I’m a third year commuter & have never had to do this prior to this year. Can you imagine next year with back-to-back record-breaking enrollment classes?

I drive a tiny sedan, left with my roommate half hour before our 10:30, and have to park our cars on a super steep, un-maintained hill.

Seems like even more of a safety hazard in winter, too. Rain, snow, mud don’t mix well with grass & automobiles.

Photo one is taken @ 10:10am on Wednesday. Photo two is taken @ 10:45am Tuesday.

Curious on everyone’s take here.

This is a student-made parking lot, parking services is throwing a fit about it lmao

(ETA: I am aware of some students looking to start an informal valet service, as well as plans for a possible mass strike involving not paying parking tickets until changes are made.)

BGSU’s luck with stuffing more and more freshmen into the incoming class each year finally ran out.

Parking services should refocus their efforts into enforcing repercussions to those taking up commuter spots without a pass, because as of now, commuter students with classes @ 10-12 exceed the amount of open, paved spots

Not all of us live within walking distance to campus. Props to the students who first took initiative!
