<p>It’s really expensive to park on campus, but there are a lot of options. </p>
<p>If you’re an undergrad you can buy remote permits, ‘C’ permits, dailies, scratchers, and night permits. You might be able to get carpool as well, but I’m not positive. There are metered spots throughout campus, good for different lengths of time (30 mins - 2 hours depending on location.) Last time I checked they had options for permits good on specific days of the week as well. Like, if all your classes are T/Th, you could get a permit good for just those days. They might not offer that anymore. You can always just go to the TAPS office or call them up and ask, they’re really good at explaining options. Remember, campus is on furlough until Jan 4, and the first week of the quarter has really long lines at the parking office, so plan to stay an hour+ depending when you visit.</p>
<p>Also, if you like risks, you could park in a 10 or 15 minute spot and risk tickets - I personally know people who do this, and end up paying less over the year than if they bought legit permits (and they get to park more centrally). I do not condone this, but it’s an option.</p>
