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.

Needs Improvement

If you are looking for a park after 8am classes, good luck. Parking is usually filled up by 9pm. Parking for having your car on campus can be a hassle. Usually upperclassmen get the better spots, leaving freshmen to the lesser desired spots.

Terrible

Freshmans get the worst parking ever. It's a lot in the middle of nowhere, and it's so far from campus. It's a scary walk at night. Upperclassmen get the best parking, this is one of the downfalls of being a freshman.

Diligent Meter Maids

Permits are expensive, but normal for a university. If your meter runs out, you will almost certainly be ticketed because the campus police stay very diligent on the meters. If you live on campus, you don't need a car. If you live off campus, a car is not necessary, but is convenient. Must have a car if staying off campus during summer. No public transit during summer.
