Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Obtaining parking permits on Clark’s campus can be an expensive expenditure that most students are usually not too happy about paying. The prices of the parking decks are expensive considering that there are no major security measures taken to protect students’ automobiles from vandalism or theft. The CAU parking services department also reassures its customers that they are in no way responsible for vandalism or theft by displaying several signs that state this information. Students that live off campus generally prefer to park in the main parking deck, which is located near the front entrance of the campus. There are several parking decks that are located closer to the campus housing for students who reside in the dorms that are not close to the main parking deck.

Parking on campus can be a real headache, and some students
try to relieve their anxieties by illegally parking on side streets
and roadways. There are many side streets located on and around campus for students who would rather take the chance of getting a ticket or booted than to pay the permit fee. Unfortunately, students that take this chance have a high risk of getting ticketed and fined for even the slightest illegal parking. One of the most important things for new students with cars to know is that there is a bootman on campus that seems to take pride in the amount of boots he can issue out in a single day. The “bootman” is a parking deck employee that routinely checks to make sure that each car on and around campus is not illegally parked.

Alright Parking

Parking is available because we have a parking deck. However, a lot of students don't like to pay for a parking pass or the $5 a day fee. Therefore, the rest of the students park on the main streets around campus. However, then most students run into the problems of getting parking tickets. I feel like the county just comes by purposefully everyday to give tickets to students.

NO PARKING

There are hardly any parking spaces around the actual buildings that classes are held in. The parking lot is too expensive to park there everyday and is not included in your tuition if you do not stay on campus. There are often break-ins along the outskirts of campus and fines are outrageous.
