Parking? Thats a Joke

Parking is terrible. Do not bring a car unless you have a house with a driveway that you can park your car in. Classes are all walking distance, so its really not a big deal to not have a car. Also, the busses are always running. Sure, waiting for a bus isn't the best thing in the world, but it sure beats having to walk 10 minutes to the parking space you had to circle around for 15 minutes for. Plus, if you don't have a car you can just take advantage of the suckers who brought one

You Will Get Tickets

If you don't pay the meter or it runs out, they will find you. You get half off if you pay by the next business day though. Parking is often hard to find on central campus, and most freshman can't get parking if they live in the dorms, though most apartments and houses have it available and there are spots for rent. Don't park in a no-parking area or in private lots, or you will likely be towed, especially on football Saturdays.

Could Be Better but You Don't Really Need to Drive

north campus has plenty of parking. but you really don't need a car at all. the only thing you might need a car for is doing some serious grocery shopping or something like that. other than that town has enough stores to cover all your needs.
