<p>I don’t know about the probability of getting a parking permit. The parking lottery system was new this year. They really should bring back the remote lot; getting rid of it was a load of bull. As to having a bike, it makes a lot of sense. Even if you have a car, it’s not as though you’ll be driving it to class. The campus isn’t that big, and the parking south is entirely reserved for faculty, staff, and students who live south. Having a bike is a great way to save time and give yourself a little extra sleep in the morning.</p>
