Best Places to Find a Spot W and F lots are the largest, but they are the farthest away from the center of campus.
Good Luck Getting a Spot Here Some dorm buildings have a few parking spots outside, but because there are so few spots, it's very unlikely you'll find an empty one.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students need 54 or more course credits to have their car on campus. Despite having parking lots all over campus, it usually seems impossible to find a parking spot. No matter where you park, you’ll have quite a walk to your car from wherever you live (unless you happen to luck out and park right outside of your door). All parking lots are on the outskirts of campus, and the farther away you get, the more likely you are to find a spot.

If you live in an apartment on campus, there are parking lots right outside of your building. Don’t worry about guests on the weekends because it becomes a parking free-for-all at 5 p.m. on Friday until 6 a.m. on Monday. If you’re thinking about commuting, you’ll almost always find a parking spot in the commuter-designated lots—they’re just farther off campus. No matter what, your best bet is to just learn the bus schedule.

Tough to Find

Unless you live in an on-campus apartment it can be hard to find parking where and when you need it. There are a few commuter lots that aren't too far off campus and have bus services but if you need to drive into campus quickly and you live off campus, it may take you a while. P.S. The police ticket like it's their job... oh wait..

Awful, Really a Hassle

I don't have a car on campus and, if you live on campus or know someone with a car, I don't really think there is a need for a car. It can actually be more of a hassle. People who I know that have cars are always complaining about finding parking spots.

LAME

you have to pay tuition before you can park.

you get tickets for parking where it says free visitor parking.

its in a city so you can ONLY use their parking lot unless you want to pay for meters or private lots.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Qualified students register their car with the Department of Parking and Transportation Services by paying the parking fee. They then receive a parking sticker to be displayed on their car's windshield. This allows them to park in resident-assigned lots on campus. Cars must be registered before each academic year, when new permit stickers will be issued.
