Parts of campus? LOL! They block off the
ENTIRE campus. If you want to leave, you leave early and you come back late. I learned this lesson the hard way last year. I was with my boyfriend who is in band. He had come across campus to see me, and he needed to get back for the show, so he drove back and I rode with him, just for the ride. We were unable to get from Highland Road to the Stadium. Finally, we ended up at the PMAC. That's where he said "look, I'm so late as it is, I'm just gonna run and find the band wherever, please take my car back to the dorms." Well, after being turned around about 15 times by traffic guards, I ended up off campus somewhere. I was driving around trying to find my way, I missed a stop sign and got a ticked. While the cop had me stopped, my boyfriend's dad called on his cel phone, which I stupidly answered. After that was finished, I was trying to get the car back to West Laville, coming up Highland from the West (I think). Well, apparently, you can't do that. A traffic cop actually told me "if you want to get back on campus, wait until 10 or 11 PM after the game." Apparently, getting home is no reason to be allowed to drive up Highland Road on a game day. I had to park his car behind the old Super Fresh grocery store.I called his roomate crying and they came to get me and we went to the game. Because of that, I refuse to go anywhere on a game Saturday. I stay in my apartment and either walk to where I need to go, or just plain do without. Its too much of a hassle.
