It's a long one but it's a must!!!!!

The university itself is great! Amazing professors, the environment and the resources here are great! BUT!!! parking is incredibly terrible especially if you commute! If you live on campus then it's fine because there's literally parking everywhere for people who live on campus, which in turn does not make too much sense to me. Anyways I pay $180 for parking that can range between a half a mile to about two miles away from campus depending on what time you get to campus and god forbid you forget something in your car or get to campus after 7am be prepared to hike to class! I guess it would be ok if there was at least a shuttle taking students back and forth from campus to the ridiculously far parking spaces but no! If you can afford purchasing a permit for the resident parking spaces after having to deal with tuition plus the cost of commuting to campus then that's the best option but like most college students we are most likely more times than most usually broke or on a tight budget! Lastly, this year they have added tons of metered parking which is great for those who go to class once a week but it will burn a hole straight through if you have class everyday. Besides the parking situation and the construction going on literally all over campus the university itself academically is great!
