I know we all complain about it but I think it's ridiculous for students to pay for parking in a place when parking is already difficult to find.

1) If we had a bigger parking lot I would understand.

2) Yes, they provide free shuttles if they park far away.

But for the students that only come 2 days a week, they have to pay that $600?

3) They do have free express busses but they have certain hours they can operate.

They also have the normal route carta but it takes hours to get to you destination. If you have a job this can a problem.

4)If you don't want to pay you can choose to live close to the school but that is not an action a lot of people can do.

5) At the citadel they pay 75 for a semester.
