With the weather event that took place on Wednesday 6, 2013,
I feel Richard Bland College should take into consideration their commuter
students and what the weather is like from where they are coming. Although it
was only raining on the Richard Bland campus, other areas were being pounded
with snow and sleet. In Chesterfield
County there was an inch of snow on the ground by 7:00 am and showed no signs
of slowing down. The news was reporting accidents along Hull Street, 288 North/
South, and 95 North/ South.
My carpool companion and I had a stressful morning weighing
the odds of how to get to Richard Bland safely and if we should even try.
Knowing that campus was not closed and the work we would miss could not be made
up put enormous pressure on us. We decided to try, but when our vehicle started
to slide we were forced to turn around. I know for a fact that we were not the
only conflicted students on Wednesday; I received several emails from students
expressing their concern for the situation. By the time Richard Bland closed,
at 10:00 am, I had missed two classes and risked my safety.
