Hello, my name is Maria Sotomayor and I am a sophomore at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL. I am originally from Tampa, FL, which is about a 2 hour drive away. Since I had made the decision to move away from home for college, I decided to live on-campus. The apartments that I live in are right next to our university's arena, which houses many sport events and other school activities. My dorm building's Resident Assistant has recently informed us that during basketball games, at the arena next to my dorm building and many others, the residents of the dorm buildings were to move their cars practically across campus to make parking space for game goers. My peers and I are upset about this for many reasons. The first being that the college women who live in the dorms don't exactly feel comfortable walking a mile to the car and back when it's dark outside for obvious reasons. Many of my peers have brought up the point that if any of us were to have an emergency of any kind, we wouldn't be able to get to our cars in a timely manner. It is also just plain inconvenient for residents to walk such a long distance to their cars when they have other obligations to attend like a job. In the end, us as students have every right to be upset about this situation. Especially considering the fact that WE ALL pay several thousands of dollars to study and live here, we have a right to park in front of our residences.
