<p>I’m probably getting a car for the spring semester and was wondering best places to park for cheapest. I know the university has terrible parking rates, but I’ll park there if it’s more convenient. I live in FAR, so a spot close to there would be nice. Parking costs should not exceed $350 hopefully :/</p>
<p>Realistically the only place to park is in a university student parking lot. Those are located along the periphery of the campus (you will see some on campus near classrooms and other buildings but those are either visitor or temporary parking or limited to faculty and staff). There is a student lot fairly close to FAR. Current rate is $660 a year and I assume it is about half that if you only do second semester but that you will need to check with the Parking Dept, see: <a href=“https://www.parking.illinois.edu/rates.htm#student[/url]”>https://www.parking.illinois.edu/rates.htm#student</a></p>
