Terrible Parking

Because of the lush landscapes on the campus, the places you can park are very limited. The remote parking lots allow you to park on campus, but you then must take the shuttle to your classes. There is metered parking littered throughout the campus, but be wary of your time remaining, as the meter maids love to give out tickets. Also if you are a freshman/sophomore, you cannot have a car on campus unless you have a specific reason (a job, disability).
