SWOT Analysis

•

Strength

Our Thoughts

• 0-1 Year • Parking still available • Neighborhoods still available • After 2 years • Increased Enrollment • Less neighborhood streets

There is a problem!

• Faculty & students unhappy • Safety hazards • Tension with neighbors • Reputation • Enrollment increases • A parking structure is an excellent option for the college
