HVCC bursting

On the first day of the fall semester, I discovered it's almost impossible to park on the campus of Hudson Valley Community College, and after I finally did and later tried to drive out again, it took me almost an hour to reach the road. I guess the parking garage they're building may help, but it won't be ready for a year. Online courses? The college's Blackboard online site was down for much of the day. But it's hard to complain when a pregnant mother and three of her young children were ahead of me in the long bookstore line, all in good cheer. The elder girl was about to start at the New Covenant charter elementary school in Albany's Arbor Hall, and I bet she does well.

It seems all colleges everywhere (NYC, NYS, WV) have grossly inadequate parking, forcing already overburdened students to find their own private or public parking, sometimes literally miles from the campus.

The schools have had a good many years in which to develop and implement "distance learning" which would go a long way toward alleviating such problems. Some 25 years ago I urged faculty unions to grab the opportunity to make it their own, but as usual they were blinded by their arrogance.

I seriously have to question how much of a lack of parking problem it is or if its simply people are to lazy to walk an extra 2 minutes.

ACC supposedly had an "issue" while I was there & that was when times were good & people had jobs & didn't need the extra schooling to make transitions. Potsdam only had a brewhaha about parking, they specifically made a new lot & STILL people complained about lack of "good" parking.

A girl of mine wrote her own op-ed in the Fall of 2008 about her observations at U of Albany which you can read here:

Whether HVCC has an actual "parking problem" or if its simply disgruntled &/or lazy students not wanting to bundle up to walk an extra 5 minutes in the cold during the winter, I haven't a clue.

Which way did you write your superior idea referring to this good topic I chew over? The thesis writing service need writers as you to do the thesis write doing. So you will have a really great chance to enter to the group of masters.
