<p>Hi I am a new transfer student, a lot of question about living on campus.
I sign a contract with the single student apartment. Is parking come with the apartment? or should I buy a parking permit for my car?</p>
<p>Actually, I am not gonna drive that much; most of the time I rest my car on the same spot.
I see all of the permit are restricting after 4 or 5 pm to about 6 am. Woundering is there any parking permit with no time restriction?</p>
<p>I live on campus. I pay $120 for a whole year to park which is a bargain compared to off-campus permits. Only problem I have is that I don’t get a designated space but a first come first serve at the parking lot.</p>
<p>o, which parking permit did you choose, is there any time limit?
I saw through the the menu and the only choice I have is C-permit which is $468 anually and the M-permit for motor cycle which doesn’t apply to me.</p>
<p>I just search on the website, the way that the website explains is confusing: " in general, one student in a two-bedroom (two-student) apartment is likely to be able to obtain a parking permit", does that mean the permit comes with the apartment and I don’t need to purchase anything or I should “obtain” it additionally by paying for it?
and by the way, where excatly is single student apartment?
sorry, I know I am a little bit too OCD, but just doesn’t feel right for knowing nothing</p>
<p>I think it’s additional, unfortunately. I’m not sure about the off campus apartments though. Since I live on campus I can’t purchase campus permit (weird, right?) but I can purchase parking for my apartments, which is $120 for a full year of parking but ONLY in that apartment’s parking lot. Basically, I can only walk/ride my bike to class which is fine, I guess.
I am not sure about the apartments you are talking about. They may charge you for a permit at your apartment which may not include campus parking. I think you are able to buy a c-permit which allows you to park in the parking lots on campus. But it willl cost you extra, most likely. Unless you can purchase a permit for your apartments and then walk/ride to school or ride on unitrans which sounds more cost efficient. It would eliminate having to buy two permits (apartment + campus). Trust me, it’s going to be hard for me to give up my car. I am nervous about biking, actually. I’ll admit it. I think the SSA are bike/walk accesible. Additionally, you probably will have a unitrans in front of or close to your apartment. I don’t think transprtation willl be an issue ^^</p>
<p>but I applied SSA through the university website, shouldn’t it be a on-campus housing then? as all I understand, you have to apply for off campus housing on your own.
Yes, C-permit is the only permit I can get. It’s so confusing, I check through the website, I have no idea where SAA is, thus I not even sure weather I should get the permits for both my housing area and the campus area. </p>
<p>I know, riding is so scaring,with those car passing by like wind ‘~’</p>
<p>only residence halls are considered “on-campus”. Even t hough I actually live on the campus I am considered “off-campus”. I am not sure where the SSA are located but I think some are located on campus (but still considered “off-campus”) and some are actually physically off campus off of Sycamore. When I called the the financial aid office she put it to me this way, “If you have a kitchen where you live you are basically ‘off-campus’ whether you live on campus or not” which basically excludes all but freshmen residence halls. Since I live on campus (even though I am considered off-campus) I will not be sold a c-permit. I really don’t know the policy of the student apartments on campus but I am pretty sure that those ones will have their own parking permits. The student apartments on campus, from what I understand, were fully occupied so I think you might live in the apt. off Sycamore. It’s off campus but it is still close. Do you know the name of the place you are living? I could call them up and ask for you. I have no shame.</p>
<p>well, I only know that it is called Single Student Apartment= ='but think you anyway</p>
<p>If you wanted a bit more information on parking still:</p>
<p>The only available parking permits to undergraduate students are C and L. The parking map can be found here. <a href=“http://taps.ucdavis.edu/common/pdf/cpark.pdf[/url]”>http://taps.ucdavis.edu/common/pdf/cpark.pdf</a></p>
<p>As you can see, the L permits have a lot fewer locations for parking than C permits yet still cost a hefty amount (about $50 less a quarter). The C permits run about $360 a for the 3 quarters (Fall-Spring) and allow you to park in all the marked lots on the map as well as A-permits areas after 4pm and metered parking spots after 5pm. Weekends are free everywhere.</p>
<p>I recommend the C-permits over L-permits since it is quite difficult to find spots even for C-permits during peak hours.</p>
<p>Also, the on campus parking flwrgrl may have been talking about as well includes Primero Grove which is on the northern boarder of campus.</p>
