UCF parking is awful. I definitely do not miss it!
Parking decals were running about $70 & up for two semesters while I was in school. I've heard that they've gone down in price because there isn't enough parking for everyone (meaning it wouldn't be fair to charge people to park when there's usually no parking spaces).
Over the past 4 years, 4 new parking garages have been built. By the time a parking garage is finished with construction, another garage is needed.
If you wanted a parking space, you had to make sure to get onto campus at least 30 minutes before class began. People would wait down one of the lanes and as soon as they saw someone walking to their car, they would stalk them. The car would drive about 2 feet behind the walking student with the turn signal on. This way, nobody else would dare take the space (unless they wanted their car keyed).
Parking got considerably worse my senior year (last year). I showed up in the parking lot 45 minutes before class and still couldn't get a space. It pays to be a Greek at UCF because many of us just park at the house. The problem is that Greek Park is on the other side of campus from many of the buildings. It could end up being a good 15-20 walk to class. Partner that with summer time in Central Florida being every month of the year except December-February. People would show up to class dripping in sweat and not smelling too hot. My sisters and I use to carry deoderant and body spray in our book bags to apply before walking into class.
