<p>Is it more convenient to have a car at UCSD? How often would I expect to use it if I bring one? And, does it come with a cost such as a parking pass?</p>
<p>Yes, I would say it is extremely convenient to have one. I have my car and I absolutely love it. This past year the permits cost around $530.</p>
<p>How much parking is available on campus for students? I don’t want to bring my car for the three hour drive, and then have it turn out that there is no available parking.</p>
<p>Well if you just plan on staying around UCSD and the La Jolla area, there is pretty reliable transportation and I wouldn’t think you’d need a car if this is the case. Having a car isn’t really a problem if you’re not interested in going far away from the campus.</p>
<p>However, if you’d like to explore the rest of San Diego and especially the downtown area (for nightlife, restaurants, sporting events, etc) I would recommend having a car. Downtown is about 30ish minutes from La Jolla and unless you want to sit on a bus for twice that amount of time I’d suggest you get yourself a car.</p>
<p>yea the muir parking lots have room, if you cant find anywhere else</p>
<p>behold, the power of google!</p>

<p>you can always do what i did and bribe someone to buy you a “B” parking permit :)</p>
<p>how hard is it to get a parking permit because I want to bring my car so that I can drive home if I want on the weekend?</p>
<p>any student can get an “S” parking permit. </p>
<p>the better question is whether you’ll get a decent parking spot.</p>
<p>what is considered a bad parking spot? like far away from your dorm??</p>
<p>well, what do you think constitutes a bad parking spot?</p>
<p>haha i guess that’s what I would consider a bad parking space. thanks tho</p>
<p>So I’m assuming that even if you get a super expensive apartment on campus, it doesn’t come with a parking spot right? :(</p>
<p>What is the difference between the different permits? (S, A, B, ect…)</p>
<p>S = Student
A = Faculty
B= Graduate Student</p>
<p>There is definitely limited parking on campus. UCSD sells more permits than there are spaces. Unless you want to park in Regents, which is across the 5 - you take a shuttle to get there. Pretty sure there’s always parking over there.</p>
<p>I’ve never visited the area, so this question might be stupid. Can I park on the streets of the neighboring areas and walk back to the college? I don’t mind trekking from my car to the college.</p>
<p>Yeah you’d have to walk pretty far though! What college?</p>
<p>I’m in Sixth College.</p>
<p>The only place I can think of nearby 6th is like by Ralphs and that whole shopping center… I’d say it’s a good 15 minute walk at least. Anyone else? Man I haven’t heard of anyone doing that sounds sketchyyy! no offense hahaha</p>
<p>How far is the reagants parking lot from revelle?</p>
<p>Haha. Just trying to figure out my options if I can’t get a parking space. I wouldn’t want to waste money for a space and then end up without one. 
I’ll be visiting the college and surrounding area soon, so I’ll see if it’s worth it to bring my car. Unfortunately, I can’t go on admit day because I have games.</p>
