Housing apps just came out I would like to prioritize Central but want to visit it first. At the same time I want to get parking at the dorm (“D pass”). These go early, apparently, but does anyone know how early?
The earliest I can visit the dorms is this weekend or next, then I can complete the app, would that be early enough for a parking pass?
Any freshman I know who have a car on campus have to park at the Stadium. My D’s roommate who did bring her car back is actually parking it at a friends place off campus. Not sure how likely a freshman would get a D pass unless you have a demonstrated disability. Be prepared to park at the stadium and then get used to having to move it on game days.
You should submit your housing application ASAP. They allow you to make changes (update neighborhood preference, add roommate etc) to it until May but it will retain your original submission date for priority purposes.
I am an IU student living in the central neighborhood and submitted my housing app the first day it came out. A few days to a week later won’t really make a difference in getting parking, as long as you apply pretty early. I received a parking space in the lot right outside my dorm.
