Kenan Hall, Flagler College’s main academic classroom building, has a new look.

This year more than 800 new students will enter Flagler College’s already crowded halls and dorms. This is the highest enrollment that the college has ever seen, leading to a few housing issues. Flagler College will hold a record breaking 2,400 students, with about 650 freshmen, 165 transfer students and 1,585 returning students.

According to Flagler College Director of Admissions Marc Williar, the college’s original plan was to reduce this fall’s enrollment to about 655 students with a total of 2,300 to 2,350 students. They estimated about 1,645 students would return and that would put them at a comfortable 2,300 students.

Students who regularly use city parking might want to empty out their piggy banks and start saving all their loose change now that city of St. Augustine parking prices have gone from 25 cents an hour to $1.50 per hour for both street parking and lot parking.

“A lot of people we find are feeding the meters and not taking notice of the price changes, which is causing a lot of unnecessary fees for students,” said Tara Bennie parking coordinator for the city of St. Augustine.
