I have been attending this University now for two years and have loved almost every second of it. I truly appreciate the lengths to which the University goes to beautify the campus. The ability to pick up every leaf on campus during a football game weekend not only makes the campus aesthetically pleasing but mind-boggling.

For this, I thank you. But now for the problem I've encountered, and I would guess others have also.

I just spent 25 minutes trying to get my car out of D-2000. If I remember correctly it has been at least a week since the last snowfall, which was not very hard. I know it might be a chore to plow the lot with all the cars in it, but some effort would be nice. D-2000 has not been touched once since the initial snowfall of the season, and just because it has not snowed does not mean that snow has disappeared. There are now new parking spots being created and this has created further problems, especially for those who don't know how to drive in this weather.

I went to a junior college for two years before transferring into this University. There I spent $2,000 per year for my education.

However, there was always a clean parking lot along with clean sidewalks. The effort given to the sidewalks is extremely unsatisfactory. The big sweep machine that they use to brush the sidewalks is ridiculous. Get some gosh-darn snow plows out and clear the sidewalks and parking lots. I think we can dip into the small bag of money that this University has and clean this place up during the winter. It is not like this is the first snow in the University's history. So do something about it, please.
