First-year parking lot causes safety concerns

Less than a month after the new first-year parking lot opened by the Francis Center, freshmen are raising concerns about their safety walking to and from the Gateway lot. Elon freshman Andy Bowman works at the Publix grocery store in Burlington, around a ten minute drive from campus.
