<p>i was wondering if there is anyway for a frosh who lives on campus housing to obtain a parking permit whether it be from an upperclassmen or some other way. let me know because im from sacramento and i want to bring my car with me to santa cruz this fall. im planning to stay on campus and i need help deciding which college to pick for housing and stuff. so let me know. im planning to be a lawyer so i wanted to know what would be better.</p>
<p>TAPS (transportation and parking services) is REALLY UBER MAJORLY (catch my drift yet?) strict. It's next to impossible to get a parking permit if you are an underclassman. Plenty of students park in town tho - the boardwalk and several local churches rent parking spaces per quarter, or you can take your chances on local streets.</p>
