Recent Interviews with fellow ODU drivers


So recently, I proposed a question to some fellow students around campus concerning parking @ ODU. The question I asked these students was "did they feel that parking is limited on campus?" I got varied responses from the students. My first interview was with Junior Mike Goodman, a commuter from Chesapeake, VA. Mr. Goodman informed me that he doesn't have many problems with parking, since he arrives on campus in the early morning hours. He always is able to find a spot on the 43rd st. garage near the campus library as long as he is there before 9:30am. Mike informed me that anytime after 9:30am, it is almost impossible to find a space in that garage. The second student I interviewed was a Mr. David Lamb, a on campus resident, informed me that parking is hard to come by as a student living off of Powhatan Ave. He, and his friends have had to park all the way in the back of the Whitehurst parking lot near the ODU sailing center, which they have nicknamed "Cuba," because of the distance away from his housing building. My third, and finial interview was with a fellow on-campus resident Mr. Michael Harper, who also lives off of Powhatan ave. Mr. Harper informed me that he rarely has trouble finding a space on campus, but sometimes he does have to park a distance away from his campus residence, but it doesn't bother him too much. I found that overall, student have mixed feelings about the parking situation on campus.
