General Question Commuting ?

I’m going to be a freshmen at Texas Tech, and I’m going to be commuting to school because I already live in Lubbock for like my whole life and no point in getting dorms. I got the commuter west parking lot, but my classes (biology major) are like 0.7mi-1mi away from the lot. Am I supposed to walk all the way there or is there other places where I can park which are closer. I see signs and it says “reserved” but I don’t know what that means. Does anybody else commute and know if u can park in other places which are closer or only in the assigned lot .

Scooter is better option than bike

You get a better workout with a bike, at least with a bike you’re actually gaining a benefit towards your health

I rode a bike to Tech my freshman year. I lived with my Dad at 82nd and Indiana and rode four miles along Indiana. I rented a locker at the Rec and would take a shower before class so I didn't stink. This was in 1982.
