Stranded in the rain for a concert
No notification, no email, nothing. OSU columbus campus shut down all their busses in the middle of the day today, with no warning, for a Bruno Mars concert. This is incredibly disappointing. Many students now have to walk miles in the rain to get back to their cars. We pay to be here. We pay for parking. We pay bus fare as part of our tuition. This is a school, not an event center, so why are we prioritizing a concert over the actual students. It did not feel like the school considered the impact this would have on students at all. Maybe I'm unreasonably upset over this, but I'm also wet and tired. I did not feel very cared for by my school in this moment.
Edit: im being told there was an email on the 13th to all campus park holders. I am not a campus park holder, my sibling is cuz we share a car. Apparently the email's title was about the concert tho so this can be very easily overlooked by someone not interested in the concert. Also no matter how much warning they did send what are buckeye lot students supposed to do. That's a long walk and everyone can't be using the cabs at once. I've never had to use those before so I don't even know how they work. And I know I wasn't the only one who missed that single email because there was a lot of other students waiting at the bus stops for a bus that never came
Edit 2.0: im home and dry and have simmered doen some lol. It was emailed in the on campus emails but I don't usually read those. I thought they were more for letting students know about fun stuff coming up on campus. Not super necessary information but good to know. I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on that in the future. I still feel this should have had its own separate email and at least one or two buses running, but we can just agree to disagree on that one
