Late

Everyone knows that feeling of just not waking up on time. Being a college student means you better find a way to class, and quick.

Rec Center

The Recreation Center is one of the most popular places on campus. The ability to workout, swim, or just enjoy a smoothie is a large attraction for most students. Plus you pay for it so you might as well enjoy it.

Parking an Issue

There has been a long and controversial debate about parking between faculty and students at Indiana State University. Many students feel that the parking is very limited especially during the week days.

 Andrew Christman, a freshman at Indiana State, says “I feel that students should have parking close to their dorms while faculty and staff get parking close to where they teach and work.”  While Amanda Leach, a freshman at Indiana State, says “I feel that parking is not a big issue, if you plan according to when a lot of students are leaving for work and for other reasons you do not have to worry about finding a parking spot.” 

Whether you agree with keeping the parking as it is or you feel that the parking arrangements should be changed there is no easy solution. There is no easy way to fix this problem and keep both sides completely satisfied. By: Jessica Craig

Home Schooling

A growing trend in education is homeschooling. The reasons families choose to homeschool are as varied as the people themselves. Some question whether individuals should be allowed to educate their children. While I do not believe homeschooling is for everyone, it makes sense to me that parents have much more invested in their children’s future than a professional school teacher, no matter how caring that teacher is.

Homeschooling is certainly not perfect, but neither is the public school system. Public education has a one size fits all mentality that fails some students. Children are forced into categories of age instead of ability, and taught that there is only one right answer. They receive very little one-on-one attention and may fall behind the class because they learn differently than the stereotype.
