An issue that is most relevant to students that live off campus is the issue of on campus parking.  The implementing of a policy for parking for off campus students would make a huge impact in the student life for both on and off campus students.  For on campus students parking has never been an issue because they can walk to and from their dorms.  The problem exists in those students that have cars and still live on campus.  What should be changed is there should be specific parking lots for students who live in the dorms, specifically located on the outskirts of campus. Such parking structures like Pendelton Garage or Horizon Garage could be used specifically for these students. The student could pay a fee for a pass at the beginning of the year and have their car in a safe gated parking garage away from the middle of campus so that students commuting to and from campus have places to park.
