Packed buses prove frustrating for students

This overcrowding can cause students to be late to class because the buses won’t pick up passengers once they reach a certain capacity. No preference freshman Rachel Beck, who lives in Brody Neighborhood, shared the frustrations that come along with living on the outermost edges of campus when the buses are full. “Everyone starts crowding around ... and it just drives by us,” Beckmtg said. “It happens up to four times in a row sometimes, so I’ve been late to almost every single class this semester.”

Unfortunately for MSU students, this might not have been possible during the first week or so of the new semester.
