Editorial Topic

The parking here at TCU has always been a topic that I have a strong view about. I've always thought the parking has been less than satisfactory. Yes the school has enough parking for everyone, but who wants to park in the "Freshman Overflow Lot" and walk a half a mile back to their dorm?

Ive been to many other campuses around Texas, visiting friends, and almost every single one has had a large parking garage for their students. So why cant this idea be implemented at TCU? Some would say its because we don't has as many student as other universities. To that I would use SMU as an example. They have about the same number of students if not a couple thousand less, yet they have a parking garage on the east side of campus. Another reason someone might argue not to build one could be that the look of a parking garage would damage the image of TCU. This is possible but I'm not suggesting they build one six levels high. A simple two or three level parking garage would help tremendously.
