My old roomie (a ZTA) use to spray her dog after walks because the dog got all sweaty and it would smell up the apartment. We washed the dog once a week, too! If we washed the dog after every walk, her skin would get dried out. We bought doggie perfume and would spray it on the dog after walking her. heh heh. The poor thing would roll around on her back for an hour trying to get the scent off of herself.
OK, slight hijack. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread on parking........
parking at the stadium is $58 for the year
if you can get a sticker for a lot by your dorm it's $80 for the year
The churches near campus are selling spots for $150-200 for the year
We're selling spots at $150 per semester or $275 for year
TKE is selling spots at $200 per semester... and some Tri-Delts and DZs dont look around and are paying there.
parking was ridiculous when i was at tech. i can't imagine it now, esepcially with all of the construction they have going on. they are taking out part of the commuters lots to construct highway or something like that.
prices today....i think are:
commuter parking (to hunt for a space)--$118 (9month permit)
dorm parking (to still hunt for a space)--$139
garage parking (which wasn't available when i was there)--$268
thank goodness one year i lived 2 blocks from campus and walked to school. my sr. year all of my classes were in one building so i always parked on the street and risked the chance of getting a $4 ticket. it was a shorter walk and i don't think i got enough tickets to compensate for buying a permit.
When I was active, parking was $35 or so. I parked for free off campus at our chapter house and rode my bike in.
At work, I pay nothing to park.
When going downtown to the courthouse or whatever, I just park at my apartment which is also free and walk or take the trolley to where I want to go (which is 25 cents).
It's a good setup

Parking here just went up to $50 for the entire academic school year. I thought that was expensive. It used to be $25 and you could park anywhere. As close or as far away from class. I park right outside the building I work in. But, in the fall, parking is horrible...there is just never enough parking. The only vacant parking lot is by the stadium, a few blocks away from the main buildings, but people hate to walk, I guess.
