<p>I was just curious to see how many accepted transfer students are going to be bringing their vehicles with them?</p>
<p>Currently the parking website has no information on Residence Hall and Storage Parking passes. The only information I was able to obtain is off the housing site. Does anyone have any further information? The links on the housing website are "dead."</p>
<p>Unless you intend to do a lot of driving I would leave your car at home. The public transportation is good here. The Berkeley Parking Police are horrible. They also ticket every 3 hours so you could, potentially, pay quite a hefty fine. (once you've been ticketed they know exactly when to return for the next one - on the dot).

I actually received a ticket for not having a front license plate (my car is from Arizona and I don't have a holder for a front plate). I was ticketed all night long (even though there was no chance to correct the issue in the middle of the night). After a few hundred dollars in fines I decided to leave my vehicle at home.</p>
<p>Yeah, I've gotten that impression from the Bay Area as a whole. I had my car towed and impounded in SF last summer. $200 to get it out. Personally, I have a problem with not having my own mode of transportation with me at all times. I guess I am going to have to think about it!</p>
<p>i myself am having a serious case of separation anxiety at the thought of leaving my car at home while i'm at cal (read: no, i'm not taking my car).</p>
<p>if i do however, i'm probably just going to get a city permit so i can have my car for a couple weeks at a time, should i choose.</p>
<p>i'm going to miss my car since i'm not taking it....ah the fun times...my $371 speeding ticket (thank you CHP)....ah the california roll that got me a fine that i will soon be receiving in the mail.....ah high gas prices that have been cleaning out my parents' ( :) not my) pockets....</p>
<p>maybe not having a car won't be so bad for me.... my friend over at santa clara univ will probably be taking me home and back and i need the excercise, so walking around town/taking bart to sf won't be that bad</p>
<p>i heard that skateboarding on campus is illegal now? is that true?</p>
<p>feurwerke> They have to catch you first...</p>
<p>hmmm, so need i be super DUPER vigilant while skating around? or can i be pretty chill about it?</p>
<p>Not really. The campus police are pretty cool with people using boards for transportation.</p>
