Things I’ll Miss at Rhodes Series
Chapter 2: Parking
Throughout these four years, one of my greatest joys has been the parking experience. It’s not often you can attend a university and have easy access to parking at all times. The endless number of free spaces and complete absence of competition is unparalleled. Never once have I had a near head-on collision with another car in the frat lot, nor circulated through every lot 3 times before finding an obscure space that actually might not even be a space at all. I don’t know how Rhodes does it—as one of the largest schools in the nation, the sheer population of students should make this feat entirely impossible. Who has ever had a parking ticket here? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Exactly. Parking tickets here are completely obsolete. Has anyone even seen a Rhodes College parking ticket? I don’t think they actually exist. The only thing I’ve ever found on my car are friendly notes from Campus Safety, riddled with smiley faces, ongoing games of tic-tac-toe, and the occasional twenty-dollar bill.
If you’re not drawn to this school for the student-athlete experience, liberal arts curriculum, or the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry aura, you must come here for the parking. I did, and it was one of the best decisions of my entire life.
