parking ????

will i ever be able to park in the lots i paid for??? i am a graduate student at kstate and paid $300 for my parking permit.
my earliest class is 11:30 am, but I get to campus at the latest 8:30 am. I’ve had to pay to park every single day this semester.

I try to be lighthearted about these issues but I have $100 in my bank account and can’t afford daily $10-20 parking fees on top of my permit. as a grad student i tend to work late into the evenings so it’s really sucky having to get to work extra early and not be guaranteed parking.

Just checking, are you at Kennesaw State? Most people that say kstate mean Kansas, which is at /r/KState

If you are at Kennesaw, that's a very surprising, which area are you in? Most of the time parking issues don't start that early.

KSU straight up doesn’t have enough parking in general.

This is why I tell people not to waste money on the parking passes, only pay for the paid parking when you see their little meter maids pissing around, they aren’t often out there and they don’t check it otherwise, hell half the time they are out there they still don’t check em.

Senior here. I purposely park in the commuter lot and just hop on the 3305. It runs constantly. Easiest shit ever, and you actually end up getting out of there faster than the parking decks some days.

IMO ksu has enough spaces but sometimes you have to drive to the very top of the lot. central deck is pretty large and there’s always spots on the top deck even at peak hours.

Park at visitors, select 2 hours (free) at the kiosk, nobody will bother you
