The students at Ithaca College have been very vocal about the inconvenient and sometimes seemingly impossible parking situation on our campus. What has started as side-eye tweets and solidarity in Facebook posts has finally turned into a petition. It's long overdue, but better late than never.

The administration at Ithaca College can no longer ignore the genuine rage radiating from this student body. They have been gaslighting us about parking availability for far too long while we struggle to get to class on time.

I know this is a problem on other college campuses as well (not just IC), but yes let's put some effort in to make the parking situation better. Maybe limited underclassman parking passes, blue lots available earlier that 5pm, or more physical spaces to park.
I live less than a mile from campus. To avoid being late to class due to lack of parking, I sometimes choose to walk to campus...but there's no sidewalks on Danby, which is dangerous. I shouldn't have to sacrifice my safety and pay over 100$ for a parking pass when it's this much of an inconvenience.
Ithaca College can no longer guarantee on-campus housing to students all 4 years, let alone to sophomores. If we're going to be forced to live elsewhere, there should at least be parking spaces available.
The parking situation is diplorable. Ithaca College charges each student $132 for a parking permit, when the institution knows that it's facilities cannot accommodate the number of students that have registered for parking permits. It's a bureaucratic disaster that must be addressed immediately.
I've gone to campus three hours before my first class just so I could get a parking spot, which is absolutely insane. As students, we shouldn't have to worry about not being able to park our cars and being late because of it, while blue lots are half empty all day.
You have to arrive 20 minutes early before class in case you have to drive around circling the parking lot over and over for a parking spot. Sometimes you are forced to park in a blue lot because you can't find a spot in any parking lot and risk getting a ticket, just to make it to class on time.
It was pouring rain and I couldn't even find a parking spot remotely close to the building I needed to be in which is already a 20 minute walk from my dorm. This is absolutely horrible I see empty blue parking lots everywhere and every red one is completely full.

There is zero parking on campus after 10 am until 4 pm. Its ridiculous the school charges for parking and then tickets its own students. This is a place of education, stop charging me for everything last thing.
