At my university, students who live in on-campus dorms (i.e. a short walk from class) are allotted most of the parking space on campus, and also have by far the cheapest price for a parking permit (around $100-200 per year). Those who live off campus and thus have a legitimate reason to have to drive to class every morning get fucked with broomhandle. I have the option of choosing between the campus garage ($900 per year) or pay $350 for one of the two "yellow lots" which are over a mile from my closest class (and no, that is not an exaggeration, I fucking measured it
).
If you are caught parking without a pass or in a lot you didn't pay for, you are given a $25 fine. So far I've been parking wherever the fuck I want (pretty much within 10 feet of my class) in the lots specifically reserved for faculty and I've gotten an average of one ticket every three weeks. This is an immensely better deal than following the law. However, it still raises my blood pressure about 20 points whenever I walk out of class and see that yellow glint on my windshield adorned with officer dickhead's flimsy ass signature.
I've checked out other university's policies. Some appear to have specified lots in which students can park for free, and others appear to have even more draconian policies. Do you guys shell out obscene amounts of money simply to be able to make it to class?
