The Strand Carpark

Ah, the ever reliable railway-​side parking. This place was a godsend when I was at uni and didn’t want to take the stupid trains. You could always rely on the fact that there would be parking available here, and that it is a lot cheaper than anything else near uni. It’s also close to things like Vector Arena, which is a plus.
However…a few things. One; parking here for uni meant walking up that giant-​ass hill. I realise that parking anywhere to go to uni will involve walking up a hill, but that’s besides the point. Two; I never had any problems here, but my friend had her car broken into twice at this carpark. Maybe just bad luck on her part but the point stands. Three; walking to this place at dark is so scary as it involves walking through a long alleyway behind a bunch of apartments, and the walkway is entirely unlit. It’s completely black, and it’s scary.
