Just Take a Bus
The parking is awful. First off, it's a couple hundred bucks for a permit and your designated lot depends on what year you are in school. Most upperclassmen get the closer spots but it doesn't really matter because your going to be stuck with a half hour (1 mile) walk. Oh, and even though you paid for your permit, you still will get emails from the campus throughout the week telling you that you can't park in the lot because of a sporting event. But beware, if you park anywhere else on campus for 5 minutes, you WILL get a ticket for $75. They tow your car too almost immediately and you eat the cost of $100 for that.

Pain in the Behind
You have to stay on top of your own financial aid. Do alot of independent research because the office of financial aid will not be interested in helping you. It's a painfully slow process and they almost didn't get my award package ready on time which would have resulted in a half of a semesters worth of classes being wasted. Call them often, check up on the progress of your awards often, don't let them be lazy and slow or you'll never see any financial aid money.
