WRITTEN BY KAYLEE GETZ DESIGNED BY ISABELLA KERN Messiah University administrators have made the decision to allow more students to park on campus than was previously permitted. Now, all student parking lots are currently full, and some upperclassmen have parking permits for the farthest parking lots from the central part of campus. Until this fall, first year students were only permitted to park on campus if they met certain criteria related to where they lived, if they worked, and if they had any medical reasons to need a car. Currently, all first year students who had requested to park on campus have received a parking permit. Typically, upperclassmen are given a lottery slot based on current credits. This year, first year students were also given a lottery slot based on when they paid their deposits. Although the first year lottery slots were after the upperclassmen slots, some upperclassmen missed their sign-up time, and first year students filled many of the parking lots before them. Those upperclassmen who forgot to register their car ahead of time were pushed to some of the farthest parking lots. Some were even moved around in temporary spots for a while.
