LSU Campus Parking Scam

Wait until you hear about this company called Riverside Towing.

Parked in the garage every day last year on the first floor no issue, even in the first few weeks of school.

No parking pass. Maybe paid to park once every other week.

Got one $25 ticket.

Park at the park across the lake and walk or ride your bike or use one of those scooters. You get your cardio in on the way.

We have college students posting on here again? Maybe this is the year we get another finals week thread

Years after I graduated I went back and helped a professor with some research. They wheel locked my tires. He threw a fit, but I still had to pay 75$ - and they gave me a parking pass.

Don’t provide near enough parking availability for the demand and charge $100 for parking violations.

There’s plenty of parking for the demand, you’re just upset because there’s not CONVENIENT parking. LSU, like most colleges is a walking campus. You park on the outskirts and walk. There’s open spots in the old CEBA lot and old Alex Box lot. It’s just not convenient.

Just use Uber to drop you off and pick you up

Same way back in the late 90’s at La Tech.

There was a spot on the south side of the campus that was a grass area with trees. You had to have a truck to drive over the curb to park but never got a ticket we called it little Egypt.

It’s now the micro engineering and bio engineering part of the college.

Damn ticket crickets

I can remember back in the 80s, watching students park behind the Union. They wouldn't see any Campus Cops around, so they'd hurry up, park in the Visitor space and run inside. Hiding behind the big oak, a lady campus cop was on her walkie talkie calling for the tow. In less than 3 minutes a tow truck appeared, backed up, hitched their car up, and off they go. That was a common occurrence. One time I saw a girl run down the tow truck at Highland Road. He kept going while she chased him Highland.

They must make a ton of cash off tickets. It's been going on at least 40 yeqrs.
