LSU Campus Parking Scam
Posted on 8/29/23 at 6:34 pm

Was in line today to get a $100 parking pass for the U Rec Center which I recently joined. Was told if my designated lot was full I would receive a $100 ticket if I parked anywhere else. In the meantime there was a long line of students who had received $100 parking tickets for parking on grassy areas because all available lots were full.
Seems like LSU has created a nice money making scheme.
Don’t provide near enough parking availability for the demand and charge $100 for parking violations.

Wait until you hear about this company called Riverside Towing.

When I was at LSU, one of my buddies ran for SGA President. His platform was "Parking Anarchy - park wherever the frick you want." He ran as a joke and actually made the runoff. We were all worried he might win.

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.

That’ll be a $100 ticket this year.

The UREC lot will have spots in another week or two once students stop going

Yah that’s how it was when I was there. The newness wears off

They’ve been doing this shite for over 20 years. The crowds will die down at the rec and you will find parking after the beginning of the semester infatuation wears off.

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.

Back in the day my brother had to sit out a semester for getting in a fistfight with a tow truck driver

I forgot about how insane it was the first few weeks
This reminds me of a completely unrelated story, but I knew this girl (well didn't know her personality, she was from where I was from but went to a school in another town) who was denied entrance into LSU. This was the fall of 98. For whatever reason she was in complete denial, told her parents she got accepted.
She looked at all the classes available and created her own schedule (not an official schedule, the one she would have wanted if she was enrolled). Her parents gave her money for books and she went buy the books for the classes she was going to go to. The classes she wanted to take that were lecture classes (with a lot of people in them) she went to, took notes and did this for about 5 weeks until she broke and told her parents she didn't get in.
People I knew, knew her personality and evidently she told someone she didn't get into LSU and that person told people so people who knew she didn't get had seen her on campus a few times.. or I think someone had one of the classes she was going to. That's right, that's how they knew she was going to class and taking notes, etc, but I think she ended up going to ULL the next semester. Im going to have to find out whatever happened to her. Anyway, whatever, yeah I told a worthless story.

Story was interesting. Post an update if you find the girl.

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

Those grass tickets were $12 when i was there. Damn, I’m getting old.

We can only hope. This place was so much better when a big percentage of posters were currently at LSU.

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.

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.

Why would any college student post here? All he or she will hear is remarks and digs about them not knowing anything and being soft millennials.

That’s a pretty idiotic idea. If I wanted to walk back and forth between the U Rec and the old Alex Box lot I wouldn’t need a membership to the Rec Center. Also what about during poor weather conditions?
