<p>So permits are being sold, and I would like some input on where to park.
I heard that its best to choose a parking structure nearest to your first class (in my case its the biological/Physical sciences zone 3) but I heard that parking is killer after 9am. </p>

<p>Where do you fellow CC users park, and any problems with that zone?</p>

<p>It says that you pick up your permit at an information kiosk, how do you do that? Can you just drive up to it and get your permit? (it just seems odd that in order to get your pass you go park somewhere for 8 dollars for maybe 30 minutes to pick up a pass...)</p>

<p>If you tell them you’re only going to park for 30 minutes they get you a short term parking pass for a dollar I believe.</p>

<p>just drive up to the kiosk, and give them your ID and then they print it out. no need to park!</p>
