Profit over Consumer Convenience; Universitas Pelita Harapan

PROFIT OVER CONSUMER CONVENIENCE @ UNIVERSITAS PELITA HARAPAN


No space to park, more time to waste

the construction of the new swimming pool




 UPH, Universitas Pelita Harapan, equipped with a variety of faculties and educational opportunities, have overloaded itself with vehicles, leaving students no space to park their vehicles and more time to waste finding convenience. Every business enterprise would want to draw more profit traffic their way, but how far would they go that they would inconvenience their own consumers

Simple logic dictates that if every car dealership zealously try to sell as much cars as possible, the city would be packed, ergo, the more students UPH attracts, and as the number of students grow (from one batch to another from each faculty, in a 30 percent increase), how packed would the location be, and how are they going to accomodate?

The latest innovation UPH has made, is UPH college, occupying the Faculty of Social and Political Science (FISIP) Building, somewhat 'evicting' the members of the FISIP family; not to mention a new swimming pool.
The swimming pool has a become more of a connundrum rather than an innovation, because it takes up a whole new space, yards and yards, and it occupies a space that used to be a student's parking space.

A new faculty + a growing massive amount of new students + swimming pool = a disastrous inconvenience

"It used to take me 5-10 minutes to find a parking spot, now it takes me 20 -25 minutes just to get a spot"
says Hansen, a student of FISIP

"I hate the fact that they are building a swimming, *****" says Evelyn P, student of Graphic Design Faculty
