Discuss this Story on the NU News Message Board. Fix parking problem Letter to the editor I am a Northeastern student on co-op and need to commute to work every day. We all know that parking is a problem in Boston, but I think that NU is undeniably taking it to another level. It is my understanding that Northeastern has built a brand new parking garage in addition to the Columbus Garage, but for some reason students are not allowed to park in the garage after 11 p.m. or their car will be towed.
Some students sit in line for a spot in the North Lot for up to an hour.
I decide not to waste my time and gas, and in turn I have to drive over to the other side of campus. It has gotten to the point though, where you have to drive around the Columbus Lot for up to 25 minutes at a time before a spot becomes available. I feel that this is absolutely ridiculous. I pay too much money to the school's parking system, on top of full tuition, to deal with this problem. I really feel something needs to be done about the parking situation at NU, being an inner city campus or not.
