Angry Parking!

  • Where do you park?
  • How far away is it?
  • How much do you pay for parking?
  • Is parking an issue at your school?

I dunno about you guys, but at Mizzou, I'm finding that parking is a HUGE issue. That is... if you don't plan on living in the dorms...

If you're living in the dorms, you can get assigned a spot in a parking garage fairly close to your dorm (usually) for a fairly decent price...

If you're not living in a dorm, and are living in greek housing, you're pretty much screwed. There is parking along the streets of greek town, but they're ALWAYS taken.. Try parking in someones lot? Nope. You'll get booted quicker than you can lock your car doors...

The problem is especially bad if you're a girl living in a sorority with 150+ girls and 30 parking spaces... Most couldn't buy a spot at the house lot even if they wanted to... So many are forced to park at farrot field (about a 25min walk)..
Imagine having to walk 25mins everytime you had to use your car? Wow.

Their OTHER option is to purchase parking from a fraternity with extra spots... I've heard of many on campus charging from $400 (cheapest) to $900 (most expensive) per SEMESTER.. JUST for parking. How ridiculous is that?

I'll most likely get to park in the lot, with the large but worthwhile fee of $200 per semester.. It is $400 for anyone else wanting to purchase a spot.

Is parking this crazy for you all as well?
