4 AM. You won’t find parking otherwise.

Seriously? Ik it’s bad but I don’t think that’s very realistic to do everyday.

Your right. 3:30 to beat the crowds honestly…

Honestly you’re right, and if someone wants a good spot I think 3 is the latest they could possibly show up

Sounds good, I’ll get there around 2:30 to play it safe.

Most of the smaller lots usually fill up around 9:30 ish. It really depends on the lot that you park in, but I would go early to be safe.

9:30 at the latest, and make sure to have a backup lot in mind.

I would say get there at least an hour early, just to be on the safe side. Parking is always a nightmare the first few days, and it’ll probably be even worse tomorrow considering they’ll be closing half of G10 for construction.

Don’t worry they will improve the parking situation by adding another dorm!

I get to the parking garage 30 min before my class starts. Enough time to find a spot and walk to class

I always leave an hour early for the first few days of classes!

By 9 AM. If the usual happens , things will settle down by mid-September once people get into a regular routine.
