My daughter called in tears this morning because she can't find a parking space. LSU oversold parking passes, and even ran out of passes. The lots this morning are full of circling cars and kids following people walking in the lots hoping they are leaving to find a spot. Is it true that they are taking a bunch of the commuter spots to build more dorms? What a mess they have created.

Been this way for 20 years. At least they charge you $200 for the privilege

Back in my day, I had to walk 15 miles in the snow to get to campus. Tell her stop whining. Also, pics?

In a week there will be enough people dropping and skipping class to find a spot.

What does one do in this situation? Park across town and take an uber?

Pick someone up and drive them to their car and take their spot.

She needs to park out by the vet school and "hoof" it in.
When they built the athletic admin building in the 90's, they lost half the parking space next to Tiger Stadium.

Find a business on the outskirts and then ride one of those motorized razor scooters to class.

Not joking. It will make her life way easier and won’t have to worry about parking

I was told that you need a special permit to do that. The regular commuter pass wont work there.

Really? That's not good. When my daughter lived off campus she rode the LSU bus. She had been warned about the parking issues.

Call the parking dept and ask.
