Even in freshman commuter parking, finding a spot and walking could be stressful if you miss the Lion Traxx,” Dorsey said.“It is extremely ridiculous. Why do we have students walking 30 minutes to a class that’s way on the other side of campus? I definitely feel like that can be fixed; the money is there for them to make more room for parking,” said Jasmine Gibson, a former Southeastern student.Gavin Stein, a junior business major, said he’s parking farther from class than he used to.“I think parking right now is a little difficult. I find myself having to park further away from class than I have had to in the past,” Stein said.Junior finance major Jacob Lott said closures with no notice make finding a spot even harder.“They will close off Garrett Hall with no warnings, and by the time you get there to see it’s closed, it takes 10 minutes to even find another spot,” Lott said.Students also said Southeastern’s roads need immediate attention, pointing to many cracks and dips that could eventually become potholes.“All the cracks could be unsafe for our students who use bikes, skateboards and scooters to get to class,” Gibson said.Many college students use bikes, scooters and skateboards to get to class, especially if their classes are in several different buildings. Hitting a pothole could cause a rider to fall, and heavy sidewalk traffic could lead to accidents.Some students said the issue may seem minor, but if Southeastern addresses it early and makes it a priority, driving to campus would be much smoother for every commuter and for students who live on campus when they return from visiting home.Until then, many commuters will continue having to build extra time into their mornings to find parking.​</div></body>
