@famfam4:

I’m a commuter, too. For Fall quarter, be aware that the main parking lot (Lot 30) fills up before 10 AM. It gets better in the Winter/Spring quarters (not sure why - maybe commuters are finding other ways to get to school?), but if your classes start after 10, plan on either trying to follow someone back to their car in Lot 30 or locate the other available parking lots.

With a gold permit, you can park in Lot 26, which is up behind the Riverside Sports Complex, or you can park Lot 50, which is behind the Extension Center across from the University Village. They’ll show up on the campus map you receive at orientation, or you can go here any time: [UCR Campus Map Beta](http://campusmap.ucr.edu/imap/index.html)

Finding parking is a pain, but pretty unavoidable if you want a decent class schedule.
