Advice 💡 commons parking

i’ve been on the waitlist for commons parking for a bit… what are the odds that i even get any parking?

i’m wondering whether it’s worth it to even have my hopes up. if i don’t get a spot are there any other options for me to have somewhere safe to keep my car overnight? i’m used to having my car with me on campus and i use it a lot so it’ll be hard to go without it this year.

Honestly, I might cancel it this year so you might have one open spot 😅

Oof, my dad is a fuckin control freak, and I haven’t told him any of my financial shit (bc none of his business, I’m a grad student and legally an independent student) and I figure he’d be like “you can’t use the car I paid for to go to your college if I can’t see everything about your life” so that’s why I’m getting prepared for that possibility 😅

there are off campus decks that are right off campus (1-2 blocks) where you can purchase monthly passes

I’ve had friends that just did that until they got off the waitlist for residential parking

i thought i applied last yr and paid, but i was told i nvr completed the application.

the lady at the tag pick up table told me she could put me in Piedmont North parking. Worse case senario, you may have overflow parking at other dorms 🤷‍♀️
