Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Ask anyone who attends Mizzou, and he or she will tell you how horrible parking on campus can be. Most commuter students park in AV14 (Trowbridge Livestock Area) or Hearnes Center. The commuter parking pass is about $120. If they're fortunate, students can get a pass to park in parking garages, but they have to be very lucky and will end up paying about $40 to $50 more. There are meters on campus. One thing that students should be aware of is tickets, though. Make sure that you have the correct tags and that there is enough money in the meters.  

The only times that students face extreme difficulty with off-campus parking are during parties or home games. Parking becomes very scarce during home games, especially around campus and downtown. During parties, it becomes very difficult to find parking around the neighborhoods because if there are only a few parties that weekend, everyone will be attending them. This causes CPD (Columbia Police Department) to show up a lot sooner, as well.

Parking at Mizzou.

It took me a few months to rally get used to the way they regulate parking here at Mizzou. However, if you get up early, you can find a park along the regular streets which run by campus(mainly off College Avenue). Then you can be there for free. Otherwise there are several parking options which to my knowledge are not very expensive at all. Everyone is not designed to get up 5 AM in morning to get to school early and get a free park when you have to be there all day. Thus, I advise you to look into all the options to choose from then make a decision.

Parking

There are limited amounts of places to legally park and ticketing is heavily enforced. The available parking is often too far from your destination also.

Parking on Campus

Parking is pretty expensive for a pass, and you probably won't even end up assigned to a lot that's near to where you need it to be. The need for a car, especially as a freshman is minimal.
