All students, faculty, and staff are entitled to decals. The one problem that you might have is that security, who provide and regulate the parking, will occasionally require that you cannot go from one side of campus to the other if your decal only applies to one of them. For instance, a freshman might not be able to park on the upperclassmen side for a party. Or an upperclassman might not be able to park on the north side to take the short walk to a sports game.
College Prowler Take
One might be surprised by how much of a breeze parking is on campus. It’s so little of a hassle that some students take advantage of it and spot-hop from different parts of the campus. Freshmen register for decals early in the semester, and students may pick one up at any point in the year. Every year the design is retooled, and new ones are distributed. The two parking offenses taken most seriously are parking in a fire lane, for obvious reasons, and parking in a handicapped zone, which will get you a hefty $100 fine. There are rarely any strictures on parking within the dorm areas. Ezelle, Galloway, New South, and Greek Row share a lot. Goodman basically has apartment parking, which is huddled and difficult to use. On the north side, it might be easy for young students to resolve themselves to parking close to the gate—there is little contact with the other reckless freshman drivers there, little conflict over spots, and a lot of saved sweat over finding a spot.

Freshmen can bring cars, but it is not a problem if they do not have one. Parking is a little bit crowded, but it is not unbearable.

Other students have real respect for your property, and you should never have to worry about vandalism or mistreatment of your car. That’s an improvement over parking at my own house. |

Late-night trips to Krystal’s have been a hallmark of my time at Millsaps. It probably wouldn’t have been the same if security wasn’t obstructive, and the walk to my room didn’t take 10 minutes. |

When someone gets a good spot, they live there. Even if it’s the most convenient vehicle, they will walk to the boonies to drive someone else’s car so they don’t give up one of those great spots at their dorm door. It just shows you how ridiculous we are when a good parking spot isn’t used for what its value is: convenience. |

On weekdays, there are always more cars circling around than spots. On some weekends, you could park a large dealership in the center of the parking lot. The results are always extreme. I see more carpools than single joyriders, so I’m not the only one that gets frustrated. |
Did You Know?
Best Places to Find a Parking Spot:
At about 5 p.m. The south side also has sporadic open spots, and the north side has a lot of activity, and spots will become open often. Under the AC, the spots are supposedly reserved for off-campus students and faculty. Nevertheless, some will drive to the lot to save a few minutes’ walk. Good Luck Getting a Parking Spot Here:
Along Greek Row Ticket Appeals
Any ticket can be appealed before an SBA council. If you do appeal it, you will be asked to meet the council, discuss the issue, and possibly be relieved of your responsibility to deal with the ticket.
