Parking Tips!!

Hey, it is me Lindsay. Learning the ropes of the parking lots on campus can take a little while to get use to when first coming to school here. So, I will give you a few helpful hints about the parking situation.

I will admit that parking around campus can be less than fun at times, especially the first few weeks of school. As the semester goes on though the parking lots clear up because people stop going to class or drop their classes for example. *Side note: If you sign up for classes go!! It is your time and money you are wasting if you do not attend class.*

Tip # 1.) Arrive at the parking lot when people are getting out of class. If you do not do this you will just be circling around and probably not have too much luck. So, for example if your class starts at 2:30 arrive at 2:15 since there are 15 minutes between classes.

Tip#2.) Use the parking garages on campus. The one by the Social Science Building you can park top on the top floor for free or you can pay an extra fee to park any where in that garage. Also, by the Integrated Science Building there is a new parking garage for your use.

Tip#3.) The parking lot behind the Gordon Hartley Hall is always empty and it is not a further walk than it would be to park in another lot.

Tip#4.) With your student I.D. card you can ride the people mover bus for free. There is also an on campus shuttle that travels around campus, to and from the University Center, and aviation. If you want to avoid parking all together or if you are staying in the dorms and have no personal transportation definitely take advantage of those services for you as a student.

Other VERY helpful information can be found at these websites. Go look at them now :)
