Approximate Parking Permit Cost
Getting a Parking Permit
The parking permit situation is atrocious. Permits are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to upperclassmen. Furthermore, permits are very expensive, and waiting lists and run-arounds tend to be common.
College Prowler Take
Most would advise to not even bother. Though, the distance between residential villages and classrooms (up to a 20-minute hike, depending on where you live and where you are going) makes having a car seem awfully enticing. Parking permits are astronomically expensive and parking without a permit is often unsafe, iffy, and a major hassle. Freshmen are strongly advised not to bring cars as upperclassmen have priority as of course do faculty. Obtaining a parking pass is not difficult if you plan far in advance and perhaps open a savings account for its purchase in the future.
Unless you commute or make very often trips home on the weekends, public transportation and campus shuttles can take care of most of your needs and most essential shopping can be done very close to campus or within reasonable distance using the RTA.

Yeah good luck with this

This school is almost as anal about parking as it is about plagiarism. They ticket people at the most obscure times everyday, even when its raining or snowing really bad. This forces you to have to pay the ridiculous amount of money for parking in order to not get a boot on your car. Basically if you want to have a car (which is highly recommended since Cleveland public transportation sucks), be prepared to go through hell and back and pay an arm and a leg for it.

Don't Have a Car
N/A
Don't have a car, so parking is not a problem. However, whenever I borrow my friends cars, I usually have no trouble getting a spot

Street Parking is Cheaper
B-
Parking is $50 from the school, which is a bit pricey, but it is only $30 for a city permit. Parking is free at night and there is enough street parking in the day. There isn't a huge need for a cr, especially because there are campus shuttles and tons of public transit options.

Not Necessary

don't necessarily need a car, you get free RTA passes and that gets you just about everywhere. Parking permits cost a lot, but it's not super safe to park your car off campus always so sometimes the permits are worth it.

If you live on North side, which...
If you live on North side, which you probably will as a freshman, you can usually find a place somewhere on the street. You won’t be able to get a parking permit because those go to upperclassmen but I know a lot of freshmen this year that brought their cars and usually found spots. |

Best Places to Find a Parking Spot
Students often break the gates of the parking lot on Carleton Road, providing free parking for the upperclassmen that live on South Side.
Good Luck Getting a Parking Spot Here!

The Boot!
Don’t slack off on paying parking tickets! If you accumulate too many unpaid tickets, University Circle cops will put a bright orange lock on your wheel, rendering the car impossible to drive until you pay off the tickets.
