Tech parking is so bad. when i arrived on campus. i was parking in the wrong section unknowingly. also unknowingly in the background i was given 7 tickets without my knowledge. had no clue until one day i walked out to my car to go to work only to see it booted. called wondering why it was booted and was then let know that i had 7 tickets equaling 175 dollars. un top of the 175 dollars i also got the privilege to pay an extra 40 just to have the boot removed. when i then asked where the nearest parking was to my dorm since i purchased the wrong one. i was told the nearest available parking is a 25 minute walk from my dorm. what great news for a freshman in his first month of college. had to call my mom and beg to borrow 215 dollars just so my car wouldn t get towed. then this week my girlfriend just got out of surgery and i figured i could risk one 25 dollar ticket so she wouldn t have to take a 25 minute walk fresh out the hospital. boy was i wrong. next morning i walked out. booted. first time getting booted= 7 tickets i wasn t informed about in anyway. second time= 1 ticket and i m booted. the website to see what number in line i am for parking outside my dorm has been down for about two weeks now. last i saw i was about 150 in line. for the parking garage across the street. i was way behind at about 300 in line. i ve currently been on hold for 35 minutes to have someone come take the boot off of my car so i can make it to work today. all i ve heard for the last 35 minutes is thank you for holding. we are currently receiving a lot of calls at the moment. then goes on to say there are currently no other calls ahead of you haven t even finished my first semester here and i ve had a terrible experience with ttu parking.
