Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking is complicated. All undergraduates apply online for their top three lot or deck choices. Each lot and deck has a code, and can be found on the map on the Parking Services Web site. The prices vary according to the location of the space. No undergrad is guaranteed to get one of his or her top three choices. For that matter, no undergrad is guaranteed to get any spot at all, but they do the best they can. Anyone dissatisfied with the space they are given, or students who did not receive anything, remain in the lottery, and it is run every so often to ensure that the spots given up are offered to others in an effort to alleviate the parking madness. A new deck was built at the East Campus Village that offers 850 spaces for students. Parking illegally is a common offense on UGA’s campus. Parking Services religiously scours every lot and every floor of every deck several times a day to make sure the proper tags or stickers are displayed. If you park illegally, even for five minutes, there’s a good chance you’ll get caught.

Relying on just finding a random spot close to campus is not something I would recommend to anyone. If you live off campus, and don’t get a spot you like in the lottery, don’t just assume you’ll be able to find a street spot every weekday morning. After five, if you have a meeting or want to study at the SLC, there is a free lot right next to it. Also, the faculty lot behind the journalism building is available after five. The pay lot at the Tate Center does not charge students after 10 p.m., and is also close to the SLC.

Parking is okay for the most part. There are usually plenty of parking spots since you must purchase a parking pass to a specific lot. Costs can be expensive but not too bad. The UGA buses have routes that will include apartments around the campus so it may not be necessary for a permit.

There is parking everywhere but it is expensive and never ever under any circumstances. One has to go online to a website a fill out alot of information just to get on a waiting list, its mosty doen online, but heres the rub you have to go physically go in to the office which they never tell you is in a random building the same that houses the dinig hall to get your permit and pay for it. The permits are expensive. And the lines for school property and the city are very blurred so you might end up with two sets of tickets one from uga police and another for Athens police. One needs a car for of campu travel. Grocery stores or any stores are not within walking distance from anywhere on campus. Parking service sucks, with poor signage so you get stuck with tickets or fees.

Not the Best

Parking on campus is usually more frustrating than it's worth. A large amount of people walk around campus and only park when leaving or going to campus.
