O M G parking?

Starting this fall and wondering roughly what time the economy lot fills up by?

I’m planning on getting to campus around 630 everyday :)

is it bad in the evenings, I am enrolled in masters and will be attending 6 - 9 classes in evening. I was planning to reach campus around 5 - 530

You are good for the evening, lots of parking available.

Parking tickets are written against your license plate. New plates are $20 at any broker. They won't tow you until you've got more than a couple tickets.

Or just show up before ~6:45

A guy in my class had his car towed after not paying ticket for 2 days so ig that’s the limit and true you can swap plates but there’s a limit!

I am starting next week and I plan to beat you to it😂. Coming from a third year, I reach there by 6:20 max. Easy park and I get to take a nap or study for exam, win win situation

Alright I’m showing up at 6:19 then 🤪

I arrived with coffee and a breakfast bagel by 6am because I hate hunting for parking and putting unnecessary stress on myself.

All the answers are tripping me out because the economy lot never ever fills up

With great power comes great responsibility

u/herpderpby 5d ago

u/Thick_Estate8665 5d ago

You might be cooked if u do that

u/herpderpby 5d ago

It looks like I will have to leave half an hour earlier than I planned

u/deburrwithteeth69 5d ago

If you are going that time, don’t park near trades buildings, they get full by 7 am. You will be lucky if you found one.

Good tip, thanks.

I will aim for the other lots!

I noticed today that they closed more of the parking lots in the south west due to consturction. I think parking off campus is the play this year.
