<p>Roughly $400/year at my alma mater; $50/year (and students threw a fit because it used to be $25/year) at my law school.</p>
<p>Latter was for commuting, although I don't think they prohibit you from parking in the lots overnight (certainly, a lot of us did that because we had a lot of all-nighters or near all-nighters).</p>
<p>It's not that much money, but think about the alternatives.</p>
<p>$300/academic yr at my school...I really believe for that much it should be a lot easier to find a parking space. There is NEVER parking near your dorm- so I really wish they would offer X permits for X available spaces and leave it at that. It just makes me hate parking services even more.</p>
<p>Parking lots and bowling alleys are easily some of the most lucrative, non-technological services known to man. Parking lots require no maintenance really and only a few staff. Bowling alleys require more maintenance and more staff, but charging per person per game they make a killing.</p>
<p>Parking at UMD is like 350 for residents and like 200 I think for commuters. Something like that.</p>
<p>i<em>wanna</em>be_brown, i lived in NYC for 12 years. So long as you know how to parallel park perfectly, don't mind moving the car once a week, searching for an hour or two for a parking spot, and the occasional tickets you get for absolutely no reason, you're fine ;). Or you can do what I'm probably going to do when I go back to NYC - dump the car and take the subway (many New Yorkers don't even have drivers licenses, I didn't until I moved out and turned 19)</p>
<p>The biggest problem on my campus is if you live off campus but not too far away have to pay the $50-75 for a parking sticker and aren't actually allowed to park on campus (!) instead having to walk as much as a half-mile up a hill because all the parking in the city surrounding has at most a 2-hr limit. At least the rules are only in effect from 8AM-5PM and you can park anywhere after that.</p>
<p>150 is really cheap compared to other schools. That comes out to be (most likely) under a dollars each day.</p>
<p>$150 for the whole year would be lovely. I plopped down $450 for a year parking permit (July 2006 -July 2007).</p>
<p>i just checked, my school is $40 for the year. I'm pretty sure it was $20 when I was there though, so it must have gone up. Either that or it was $20/semester.. but I only remember paying once per year.</p>
<p>I think most of you guys are getting ripped... but then again I think most of you guys are getting ripped on tuition too so it seems about right to be charged so much for a parking permit..</p>
<p>$100 per year</p>
<p>$325 at Lafayette College to park on campus. Only Juniors and Seniors get that option. Sophomores can pay I think $150 and park off campus where you have to take a shuttle bus to get your car. What sucks is our city of EASTON tickets if you aren't registered with them. So parking off campus isn't an option either.</p>

<p>600something on campus at Cornell. I've seen off-campus parking at prices like 2k/yr here...it's 1800 for my apartment.</p>
<p>It was nearly $700/academic year at Pitt when I had my car on campus 4 years ago, yes, 4 years ago! I bet it's inflated quite a bit since then though...</p>
<p>I just purchased a parking decal for the year. It was only $72. I am glad I don't go to most of these other schools. However, getting a parking decal at my school is easy, getting a parking space is impossible.</p>
<p>Get a scooter its cheaper gas and you can put in a bike rack.</p>
<p>$1150 for my 9 month garage parking spot, i just got the parking permit today</p>
<p>$35 a school year--plenty of parking too (I can't believe some of these prices!)</p>
<p>UCSC: $395 for the "Remote" pass, which is the only pass available to undergraduate students aside from ones specific to the apartments (which is $577.50). Both are for the academic year. The additional caveat is that you can only buy a parking pass if you live off-campus or are a junior, senior or transfer.</p>
<p>RCC: $40/semester ($20/semester with BOGW), first come first served.</p>
<p>Cal: Large variety of very limited passes, ranging from $23/month per semester for motorcycles to $57/year PLUS daily parking rates (that's right: you pay for the right to pay for parking) to $1164/year for dorm parking.</p>
<p>In short: don't drive in California. :P</p>
<p>At my high school, the parking permit costs about $82/school year, but it sucks because the permit doesn't cover the last 2-3 weeks of school. So we have to resort to paying $3/day until the school year is over.</p>
<p>Freshman aren't allowed to have cars at my university, so it's all good.</p>
<p>$150+ at my high school</p>
<p>$205 at college</p>
<p>i dont have a car so im not sure but at sdsu i think its $200 a semester.</p>
<p>$35 for one year at HS
$0 for one year at college</p>
<p>Of course, my school is 50% commuters (plus the parking lot sucks since it needs repaved so badly). Still, you can't beat the price.</p>
<p>Some of you guys pay so much...heck, I'd use that money to pimp my car out instead.</p>
