<p>I have just done some research on the parking condition in ucla and the horrific stories about parking there makes me wanna think twice about driving to school. But I am hoping that maybe the parking is not so bad if I have a quarterly parking permit? If I choose one lot for my parking permit, does that mean I cannot just park freely on other lots on campus? And there is a time restriction or something says parking on campus is from 8 am to 5 pm? This is confusing and frustrating. Since I live off-campus, I might really need to drive. I have a young child so I think I may have a shot at getting a permit which costs almost 200 bucks a quarter. </p>
<p>Any current or new students can share some info on this? Thanks!</p>
