Slippery Rock Univserity is around a 660 acre campus. That being said, not all of us are lucky enough to have all of our classes in one building, or have the buildings right next to each other. However with 8,000+ plus students that attend SRU, about over 60% of them have a vehicle on campus. Driving on campus can have its ups and downs.
1. Trying to find a parking spot=NEGATIVE
2. Driving keeps us cool in the summer and warm in the winter=POSITIVE
3. Paying for a parking permit=NEGATIVE
4.We get to class quicker=POSITIVE
5.It is not very Eco-Friendly=NEGATIVE
6. You can save gas! BIG WIN
There are some challenges with having a car on campus, but now let's challenge ourselves.
Multiple students all over campus are helping the environment with out even knowing they're doing it.
IT'S THAT EASY!
Not only does limiting your car usage help the environment, it's also helping your health!
Look to see how these students are limiting driving on campus!

| Eden Gade [Exercise Science Major] is walking out of the Student Center with her purchases. She's on her way to her physics class and jokes about how she can't fit her purchase in her bag because all of her books take up every inch of her backpack. |
 |
| She did not have the time to take them to her car because it is parked "almost on the other side of campus" because she walks as much as she can to her classes. "I commute, but I try to limit how much I use my car once I'm on campus." |

| Nate Bullock riding around and waiting for his class to start on a Hover Board outside of the Strain Behavioral Science Building. |

From Left to Right: Sherri McCandless [Art Major] and Jamie Gorgacz[Psychology Major] carpooling to their class.
Sherri goes to SRU five days a week. "I would walk if I lived closer."
Although their majors are not the same, they have a Spanish class together and it is convenient for them to ride together.

| The Happy Bus has routes on and off campus [from Univ. Village and Giant Eagle] as well as evening and late night shuttles. |
 |
| Don Sanders on his bike [with no breaks?!] leaving Boozel Dining Hall. |

A popular way to get around campus is on skateboards. Here Lemarr Terry [Psychology Major] practices his tricks on his Penny Skateboard before going back to his dorm room.
"I did have a bike," he explained, "but it needs new pedals."
|
 |
| Josh Whitico [Parks and Recreation Major] skating around before calling it a day. "I've been skateboarding since I was in 4th Grade. I live really close to the campus so it's an easy transportation." |
Kayce Caparosa [Public Health Major] engages conversation while walking to her anatomy and physiology class.
