<p>So come this fall, I will be a freshman and I intend on living at one of the shorties (Anacapa, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz).</p>
<p>When I apply for parking, am I committing to paying for it if I receive it in the lottery? I say this because my friends are also attending, so I figure would it be best if we all applied and just took one? Also would the permit go to someone else? because I dont want to make it so somebody can't get a parking permit simply because some of my friends denied.</p>
<p>Also, What are some options for parking if I can't get a parking permit? (other than living somewhere else)</p>
