Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

One of the worst aspects of going to college at Auburn is the parking situation. There has been an uphill battle going on between the students and administration for years about the lack of parking on campus. The administration has been working to improve the Transit system to make it faster and more convenient for students to ride. If you live on campus, then you can always walk or bike to class.

In years to come, Auburn will eventually be turned into a walking campus. As for right now, if you choose to drive to class, then just make sure you leave in plenty of time. Professors rarely excuse tardiness just because you couldn’t find a parking space.

Don't Even Try

If you live on campus, you get to park a little over a mile away from where you live. If you live off campus you can (and are advised) to take the Tiger Transit (free for students) onto campus. Otherwise you get to fight over parking spots in lots that are varying distances fromt he core of campus. Of course you can park at the mall or Winn Dixie, both places are okay with this and cathc transit from there. Auburn is a predestrian campus, so there are few parkignlots, as thre are few roads on campus that you can drive on.

Hide Your Kids Hide Your Wife 'Cause They're Towin' Everyone Out Here

I have a total of three fifty dollar tickets for parking outside my dorm to bring in laundry for approximately 15 minutes. They also automatically deduct the amount from your e-bill. Totally uncompromising and unfair. Absurd. Parking is among if not THE most complained about problem at Auburn.

Getting a Parking Permit

Students who want to park on campus must first register their car with the University Police Department. They are then able to obtain a C-zone or R-zone parking tag (the only tags available to undergrads) for about $30.
