They too, have a very large student population, similar in scale to that of FIU. However, their public transportation is vastly better with average wait times for buses ranging 5 to 12 minutes. As such, students rely heavily on public transportation rather than driving to school. This helps alleviate the need for cost parking garage construction, while also enabling students to arrive on campus in a timely manner. FIU is growing very rapidly and at some point will need an enhanced public transportation system. Investing in the infrastructure now, will indeed be costly. However, overtime,…
As you can see from the above information, a disproportionate amount of individuals attribute the parking inconvenience to simple lack of spaces. The university can easily rectify these results by renovating current parking garages to accommodate more parking, create space to develop more parking, or enhance the public transportation system on campus.

Many of the studies that have been
Public School Safety; SandyHook Case Analysis Following the 'Sandy Hook School Incident', several different procedures and practices have been adopted by public schools in order to promote student and staff safety. Principals of public schools were questioned, in the School Survey on Crime and Safety, concerning the adoption of procedures and measures for protection and safety in their schools.

Many also argue that though some students may benefit from structures
