In the spatial analysis lab via geography, I noticed how SIUE is so far centered from Edwardsville itself. It shows that the things you think are close in proximity are not as close. Depending on your situation and if you are a student living on campus with no car, you might want to consider other means of transportation, such as bike, bus, or walking. As an example, I looked at the closest Chase bank and there is one in Edwardsville. If you decide to drive it is 10 minutes, walking it is 1hour and 18 minutes, biking it is 22 minutes and public transportation is 38 minutes. Based on certain locations this could impact students or staff members if there is a specific place they want to go like say bank of America. The closest one is in O’Fallon and from Prairie Hall to Bank of America is a 28-minute drive, 2 hours via bus, 7 hour walk and hour and a half bike ride. For some students or staff this could be an inconvenience because if you bank with a specific bank you want to go to that bank so you will not get charged a fee for using another bank to withdraw money or deposit. This could be a financial thing because some might have enough money or gas to drive from campus to O Fallon, and then if take public transit you have to wait for the next bus which could be some minutes if not an hour wait, which can be an inconvenience for some people and their schedule. Patterns that caused this is just a lack of resources and then also the layout of the STL metro area over time because of supply and the demand for a potential Bank of America in Edwardsville. Asking the public what would be more beneficial for them based on the bank they go to and bank with, could be a reason why there is not a Bank of America in Edwardsville.
