Parking at UF when living off campus???

<p>I'm currently a freshman living on campus at UF so parking hasn't really been a big deal for me since I don't use my car that often. However, next year I really want to live in an apartment off campus. I've done some research and it seems that students living off campus can really only get the "any decal" which doesn't leave you with many parking options except for areas that are on the very outskirts of the campus. I'm just wondering how people park or if parking is a big issue? Will I have to mainly rely on the bus for transportation?? </p>

<p>My son’s apartment was close to campus. He had a city decal for street parking and mostly rode the bus or walked.</p>
