<p>Any way around the no-cars-for-on campus-freshmen rule? </p>
<p>If the parking permit is some sort of mobile object.....could I get one from a graduating senior??? ;)</p>
<p>Or would that totally not work....sigh. Man. I need to be able to travel quickly on the weekends. I wouldn't have a problem with public transit, but its just so slow....and a headache.</p>
<p>"Any way around the no-cars-for-on campus-freshmen rule? "</p>
<p>Where can I find this rule online? I've never heard it before.</p>
<p>unless this is a new rule, i don't think that's true. last year when i was a freshman i had a few friends who had cars on campus.</p>
<p>you can apply for a permit here: Department</a> of Transportation Services - University of Maryland</p>
<p>there's no rule like that. however it is really inconvenient for freshmen to have cars on campus. you get your choice of lots based on how many credits you have. so freshmen usually get lot 6 which is the comcast center garage, i believe. and u have to move your car before basketball games or risk paying fines.</p>
<p>i would recommend not bringing a car at all. chances are you will be able to get wherever you want using the UM shuttle or the metro. most freshmen don't have cars.</p>
<p>^Not only that but you have to have them moved back in to lot by 7 I think.</p>
<p>It also costs a lot and considering all the hassle it doesn't seem worth it.</p>

<p>That's where I found out I can't have the car...under "Transportation".</p>
<p>I just wanna have access to it...in case. But apparently I'm not going to be able to...whatever</p>
<p>Are you part of the Freshman Connection program (since that's the link you posted).</p>
<p>If you go to the transportation site, click on IMPORTANT INFORMATION on the following page:

<p>it's not convenient (i.e. a real hassle) for freshmen to have cars, but it's allowed...</p>
<p>you can park on campus as a freshman, but like others already said, its sort of pointless, because you have to park in the comcast lot, which is very far aaway from everything, espically if you live on South Campus</p>
