Every year the University of Central Florida is adding more and more students to the already 53,000 already attending the University. Now, you would think that with all these extra students the University would do something to help accommodate them all on campus in regards to parking, but no, day after day students drive around for hours looking for a single place to park just so they can go to class. I think that this is absolutely ridiculous, it should not take more than ten minutes to find a parking spot on campus. Students have more important things to worry about other than leaving their apartment two hours before class actually starts to ensure themselves enough time to find a spot and get to class on time. You would that the University would try to do something to fix this problem but no, all they have done is make the problem worse. They have cut bus routes which reduce the number of students taking the bus which increases the number of students that have to drive to campus. They also closed an entire parking lot next to do construction. I have to say they picked the worst time to do construction, I mean who picks the middle of the fall semester to close an entire parking lot.
