<p>So it looks like none of the places I'm allowed to park according to my class (Sophomore) are very convenient to the dorm I was assigned (Ram Village) or any of my classes..</p>
<p>I have to have my car, so I need a parking pass somewhere. If I end up with the park and ride lot, does anyone know what hours it runs?</p>
<p>If something come up and I need to get to my car after those hour, would I just have to walk to the lot?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how much parking tickets are?</p>
<p>you can walk to the lot…but you wouldn’t want to…esp. late at night. Its kinda far away. But, try to see if u can find a place to park at some apartments nearby. Just ask around, some classmates might be living in apartments and be willing to let u park there. PR Lot is okay…kinda far away but as a freshman you are not going to get a much better spot…heck even as juniors and seniors there is very limited parking at UNC</p>
<p>the tickets are 25 bucks i believe. and if you dont mind getting up early you can find parking spots that are all over campus, particularly around lenoir and davis lib. but i had the same problem as you my sophomore year as i was a drilling nat’l guardsmen. also, walking to a p&r lot is so inconvenient as to almost not be a possibility.</p>
<p>i would recommend looking around for a private parking lot. the one i ended up using was on n columbia just north of rosemary at a barber’s shop. if youre going north on columbia, away from the university, youll cross over rosemary and see it on the left, its a small white building with a gravel lot in front. the guy joe gave me a discount since he was in the 101st before he became shriveled and ancient, but it usually runs about $400 a semester. thats pricey, but if you work often it could be worth it, particularly since even the disability permits are around $200 a semester. as the previous poster said, check with friends with houses nearby, or even people in granville towers who didnt bring cars. they each get a spot which is right next to franklin and frat court and you could persuade someone to sell their permit.</p>
<p>I have a question about parking too. I have a permit for the PR Lot, but where on EARTH is it? I don’t see it anywhere on the campus map.</p>
<p>It looks like the bus comes every 40 minutes, at least in the summer. Although I think I remember that number being correct for the times that I’ve been to the lot during the school year with friends who have passes there.</p>

<p>This map shows the location of all park & ride lots, including employee ones (opens a PDF): <a href=“http://www.dps.unc.edu/maps/parkandride/ParkAndRide.pdf[/url]”>http://www.dps.unc.edu/maps/parkandride/ParkAndRide.pdf</a></p>
<p>There are some houses on Church St and adjacent streets off Rosemary that have more spaces than residents. My S lived in a duplex that had 7 spaces for 6 residents and they leased out the other space. You might try looking on Craigslist for any available spaces nearby.</p>
<p>I actually wound up with a “K” parking pass, which is close to where I’ll be staying in Ram… so I’m pretty happy.</p>
<p>Would have preferred ‘M’ … but I didn’t actually see that as one of the waiting list options anywhere. Who gets passes for that lot?</p>
<p>Have they released the wait list yet? My son is at the park n ride too but on a wait list for another lot.</p>
