They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot!

Hello ODU commuters!

Just a little background on myself, I've been a commuter for about 3 semesters now....and it's (commuting) not as bad as people make it out to be...

This blog will help all ODU commuters by informing you about parking information, traffic routes, and the best ways to navigate around campus without getting stuck in traffic. Alright, I'm going to talk about an issue that came to my attention yesterday while trying to find a place to park on campus around 11:45 in the morning. I went to park in the garage adjacent to the recently built hotel across the street from the "main campus area." Well upon my arrival onto the second floor of the garage, around 50-75 spaces were blocked off for what it seemed to be no apparent reason, then this was the same on the third floor of the parking level. Why must ODU close spaces for TED events that may not even begin until 5pm that day! That's my daily routine/frustrations that occur for basically all ODU commuters day in and day out...
