<p>We are happy to announce that additional parking spaces have been secured, for resident students only, at the Tri-College Center effective August 22, 2008 through</p>
<p>May 16, 2009. This remote parking lot is located at Merced College off of G Street and Community College Drive. Residents MUST complete and submit the attached application by August 15, 2008. Remote parking permits are available on a first come first service basis to all resident students.</p>
<p>This is complete bull, not only do we have to take a shuttle to our cars, but we have to pay 200 dollars to do so. Wth, this really seriously sucks. How could they do this to us?</p>
<p>yeah this sucks, this parking lot is pretty far from uc merced and the shuttle service probably wouldnt be very good as well
but i still might have to take it, my parents want to come back home occasionally, </p>
<p>one quick question, what does resident students mean? is that students that live on campus or something?</p>
<p>I was angry, I ranted on these forums, I realized there is nothing that can be done.</p>
<p>Yeah it sucks but come on, do you really need your car every day? Shouldn’t you be in the library studying or meeting new people instead of trying to escape?</p>
<p>We’ll still be able to go home on the weekends and they have kindly set up a shuttle service. If I’m not mistaken (I probably am tho), this parking is 1/3 of the cost of regular parking at UCM. At least there’s one thing to be happy about.</p>
<p>I believe parking last year for me ranged in the 300 dollar zone.
This is year will be about the same, and I have already received confirmation for a parking permit on campus.</p>
<p>For freshman the whole parking situation is different UCMrcdStdnt11. Only 30 special freshman get to park on campus(I believe) while the rest(freshman) have to park off campus at a remote site. UCM called me today telling me that I have received an off-campus parking permit. I believe in the email it stated that we(freshman) have to pay around 200 for the permit while everyone else(soph, junior, senior) pays 270. 70 dollars cheaper…YAY! oh yea and a shuttle transports us to our vehicles…YAY again! Sry for the sarcasm, but I am really excited about school. </p>
<p>I consider the parking issue no longer an issue! +D</p>
<p>hahaha you should have already parked there. It’s the 2nd week of school and your just know asking that; haha that’s funny - sorry!</p>
<p>Well, you should have parked there on last Sunday. We can park on campus during the weekends but on the schools days we have to park in the remote parking lot. I hope everyone’s first week has been as fun and exciting as mine.</p>
<p>yeah thats the thing because i left my car at the lake lot the entire first week of school and nothing happened, no citations or anything.
i guess i better move the car in the morning, can we park on the campus lot on holidays?</p>
<p>I park off campus. At the Merced College lot. $216 isnt too bad for parking permit (as apposed to $270). Should I be worried about keeping my car there for six-seven days a week?</p>
