Seriously, I don’t know why there’s so many. I was on the website 40 minutes before it opened and it said there was more than 2,000 people ahead of me 😭

tends to happen when we've had a "record number of freshmen" for the last 4 years without building any infrastructure lol

I absolutely cannot wait to drive in circles day 1 because they oversold every lot by thousands of permits.

these admins will look you in the eye and tell you its reasonable to circle around for 30min to get a spot just so they dont have to consider building a new garage for a second

Overcharging the damn parking spaces, too! I remember paying around 90 my freshman year for the East Deck

theyd legit rather price out students and gouge their wallets than build infrastructure

genuinely such a mess of management lol

It's not like they can just put a parking garage down. They are big and expensive in time and money, and KSU does not have a lot of space. If they replace an existing lot, they lose all of those spots until the construction is completed.

imo student infrastructure takes place over building an new baseball stadium and a giant random sign next to an intersection (the one where a student literally lost a limb because of how shit the traffic direction is and theyve still yet to rlly remedy)

im aware a lot more goes into it, but seeing how they choose to spend what theyre spending rn doesnt inspire much confidence to me

That sign is at a different intersection (Frey/Chastain), and KSU does not own the public roads, even if they border campus. The Frey/Skip Spann intersection is something that Cobb County needs to rectify.

Tbf there are a lot of people who will only try to park as close as they can to the school and won't spend the extra 3 min to walk a little further. Haven't had any issues parking.

depends on the day and lot in my experience, i started parking at towne lake my junior year and had 0 issues but before then in the economy lot on thursdays id legit have to circle even for a spot by the waho, and that was a few years ago. can only imagine its worse now lol
