At my first university parking was a HASSLE - I parked in the lot by my dorm, which had something like 700 spots for 3 dorms - nope, not enough, because all the other dorm parking lots were tiny. I paid something like $130 a year for parking there, though, so I can't complain.
When I moved into my sorority house parking was FREEEE which was fabulous, you just had to be a Gamma Phi to park there. I also liked it because I got to keep my on campus permit (I movedi in at semester) so I could drive down to the dorms. Nobody wants to walk a mile and a half across campus in snow!
At my current university, parking is outrageously expensive but I've not once had trouble finding a spot. I pay $700ish a year for garaged parking at a garage that's a block from my apartment and two blocks from the student union - it doesn't get too much better than that. They appear to have mastered supply and demand.
