[00:08.04]On College Students' Driving to Campus
[00:12.15]Along with their growing prevalence,
[00:15.26]private cars have penetrated into a wealth of citizens' lives,
[00:19.99]and even some college students today
[00:22.12]drive their own cars to campus.
[00:24.90]Many people are concerned about this phenomenon
[00:28.20]which they believe may have quite some bad influences on campus.
[00:34.11]In the first place,
[00:35.91]students' soaring ownership of cars may put tremendous pressure
[00:40.27]on the limited capacity of campus roads,
[00:44.01]which were originally designed mostly for walk and bicycles.
[00:48.49]Additionally, private cars may burden the campuses
[00:52.53]with unnecessary costs
[00:54.08]of possible environment maintenance,
[00:56.57]noise control, etc.
[00:58.69]Finally, once driving private cars becomes a trend among students,
[01:04.23]those who cannot afford a car would feel inferior
[01:07.98]because of peer pressure.
[01:09.26]From what has been discussed above,
[01:12.09]I believe college students' driving to campus should be forbidden.
[01:16.02]To be more specific,
[01:17.89]it will be advisable for the universities to reverse
[01:21.06]this rising trend among students by setting strict regulations.
