parking permit for commuters

<p>I'm an incoming freshman, and I will be commuting to UCI.
I looked up the prices for parking permits, and they are pretty expensive--more than i thought it would cost.</p>

<p>regular parking permits are $54 a month, but the preferred parking permits are $73.</p>

<p>i need help deciding which one i should get!</p>

<p>Depending on which zone you park in - I get the impressionable that the preferred parking are almost always negligible, as there are enough spaces.</p>
