Today I came to school just to do my homework for Mr. Willis class. Again.........riding around parking lots, wasting gas, can't find a parking space. Finally, 20 minutes later found one, not before 3 parking attendants told me that I can't park in "visitor's" parking space or in "employees" parking space. I already knew that, all I wanted to ask them if they knew any open "student" parking spaces.
Are they parking attendants or parking police?



Yesterday parking was little bit better. I still had to wait for almost 15 minutes to find a student who was leaving and follow him to his car. At least 3 other cars were trying to cut me off, but I was done being a good girl and I did get my parking space. You got to be a warrior at Coastal to get a parking space.
Two weeks ago, on Monday, I came to school about 8:40 a.m. to go to my 9 a.m. class. For 20 minutes I was unable to secure a parking space. When I waited for one, another car would zoom in from behind and take it. If I drove around looking for one, other cars were already waiting for parking spaces and I felt I shouldn't steal one from them. At the end I missed my 9 a.m. class because I was unable to find a parking space. Due to construction on that day one of the parking lots for students was closed, so more than one student missed their class, which is unacceptable. Where are students supposed to park to be able to go to class? I even asked a parking attendant if they would let me park in "visitor's" parking space and I would come back and re park in one hour. They said I could, but I would have a boot on my car. So.........Either you go to class and then pay to take the boot off your car or you miss class. Nice alternatives! CCCC should provide adequate parking spaces for their students! We pay to go to college here and should not have to worry if we would make it to class because of parking situation!
