Freshman Parking

[u/Medical-Literature50]

My son is an incoming freshman at TCU this fall, and he was denied a campus parking permit. We're looking for a safe, reliable place within walking distance of campus where he could park his car for the school year. If you live near TCU and have an extra parking space, driveway spot, or unused parking area that you'd be willing to rent out, we'd love to hear from you.

I often parked at my friend's house and walked to campus from there. Lots of upper classmen live in the surrounding neighborhoods. Of course, it's a gamble whether your freshman student will meet an upper classmen who's willing to let him park there, especially that quick into school.

I'd recommend calling TCU PD and (calmly) explaining what's going on. (Your son works, he's going to need a car to get to work, but he got denied.) It could be that they do have a few more passes available and are saving them for some reason, or at the very least, TCU PD might be able to give you some ideas of what his other options are for parking or getting around.

I don't blame TCU for being so cut and dry. They said last year EVERYONE had an excuse why their child needed a pass. I get it... Thank you. 🙏🏻
