<p>How bad is parking throughout the year at USC? Is it relatively easy to find a parking spot on campus during the Fall+Spring semesters or is it really difficult? Are there certain times of the semester where its more difficult to secure a spot than others? Are there certain lots that are better/less crowded than others? Are the lots safe---ever hear of any cars broken into? With that said, is buying a parking permit worth it? I'm thinking of buying a Gold permit.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
