Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students unabashedly admit that parking on campus is miserable. Actually, parking anywhere in Davis is seen as pretty awful. They don’t ride bikes for no reason! The school refuses to issue freshmen parking permits, unless they have an absolutely valid reason, but it doesn’t seem to phase most of the student body. Most prefer to get around on bikes or the bus, and the public transportation more than compensates for the impossible parking.

On campus, students tend to think that a car is really just a pain. One of the parking lots on campus was paid for entirely by parking tickets—that says something. However, cars provide many much needed opportunities to venture outside of Davis, not only for the San Francisco parties, but many internships are in Sacramento, and cars are a luxury to have. Though the Davis parking is terrible, it’s not a big deal if you’re on a bike, and most people are on bikes anyway, so it’s not as awful as it sounds.

There are two main parking structures, but I've heard that they can both get filled really quickly and that it can be difficult to find parking. Permits so cost quite a lot, but there are various kinds of permits for students ranging from all day permits to carpool permits to evening permits.
