Whack over the Head

I was recently reading an article that was submitted to the school news paper. In this article, the student suggested that Andrews provide a driving service to students. As I read and thought about this idea I began to think that that would be pretty clever.

Andrews is in the middle of no where. There is downtown Berrien Springs, but it only has a few stores that doesn't really cater to the needs of Andrews' students. There are many international students who reside in different places all over the world. Many of them cannot get cars, or it would be too expensive. The closest shopping area that has stores like Walmart, Target, and BestBuy are located 15 minutes away in Benton Harbor. The closest good shopping mall that has many popular stores and the closest good restaurants are located 30 minutes away in South Bend, Indiana. It is very difficult for students to travel and get the basic necessities at a good price.

If the school provided weekly transportation to certain areas it would help the environment, the school and the students. I think it would help the environment because if a service was provided then I think a lot of people who owned cars would not drive, because they could save gas and relax while they travel with friends to the mall or where ever they are going. It would help the school because they could make money off these services. If they charge students $5 going and coming, then they would make a good profit and they would provide more jobs. It would help the students get the things they need.
