Student Rain Shelters

Issue
Students like me find it difficult to get to classes, labs, or dorms whenever it rains on campus. There aren't many places to seek shelter, so many of us end up completely soaked. I frequently witness groups of students standing close to walls or huddled under trees, hoping the rain will stop. In addition to wasting time, this causes fever, colds, and other discomforts.

The answer
I think there should be basic rain shelters on campus in strategic locations, such as by the library, academic buildings, dorms, and main walkways. Students can wait for a few minutes until the rain stops in these little covered buildings with benches. The same shelters will serve as cool places to rest in the summer. Although it won't cost much, it will have a significant impact on students' everyday lives.

Advantages

It is not necessary for students to get wet and miss class.

fewer illnesses brought on by being in the rain.

eliminates lengthy waits outside, saving time.

It also serves as shade in hot weather.

Why it is important to me
