o drive or not to drive By Regjna Cralt Traditionally, colleges have been viewed as tree-covered campuses with old clocks chiming the hour to all below. The classic student lived in dorms decorated with photos from home and school pennants from the bookstore. Lately, however, the image has been changing. In the midst of our hustle and bustle world, more and more students have chosen to forego tradition and commute. Most of the 85 percent of UNA students that commute have discovered that their decision is not without its fair share of problems. Many students feel they lose time by commuting. By the time you get up early, drive to class, and then drive home in the afternoon, half of the day is gone, said Kelley Counts. Another problem encountered by commuters is the lack of parking places. Partially due to the rise in enrollment, parking has become a major campus problem. To avoid the long-distance walk, many students create their own parking space and risk the chance of getting a parking ticket. A great number of commuters have emerged from class to find the dreaded pink slip sitting ominously on their windshield. Despite these problems, commut- ing can have its advantages. Living at home gives students a chance to adjust to college. They avoid the ini- tial culture shock associated with leaving home and get their feet firmly planted in the classroom. For the other 15 percent of the school ' s enrollment who live on campus, life is much like the tales from parents who tell of their college experiences. It can be lonely at first, but soon the loneliness goes away. New friends are made, and the freedom from home begins to make an impact on everyone ' s life. Dorm rooms can be decorated to each individual ' s taste, and soon the closet that had been a prison becomes a home. Dorm residents also have the advantage of being on campus for all of the school ' s special events. Pep rallies, concerts, and campus productions are easily accessible for all residents. Dorrn life is not without its problems though. Noise, lack of privacy, and community bathrooms all seem strange at first, but even this becomes normal in no time. n S NOT EXACTLY Mom ' s home cooking— but at least the new vending machines in Rivers Hall keep students like Jerome Roper from going hungry.
