a) your daughter is a drama queen
b) its been that away for first week of school for decades now
c) tell her to park in the field lots or take the damn bus or walk. its not that hard to figure out. tell her to be an adult.

This was the reason I generally had 7:30 class. Parking was easy.

Good luck.

This has been an issue forever. I used to have to park across campus from my class and hike in in the 95 degree August heat. Really difficult when you're working and living off campus and commuting back and forth.

LSU is trying really hard not to look like a commuter school

When I get a parent survey -I always put there should be a different orientation and welcome week track for commuters but I know no one reads them

*which ftr lsu is not really a commuter school but they shouldn’t ignore those that are

She needs to find a Latin or English prof that will give her a ride on his/her ride to work to park in the gated areas.

Well, I did make a post on a message board about it.

After sitting in traffic and moving 500 feet in 30 minutes on campus yesterday, I say they should take away more parking.

For my Soph-Senior years at LSU I never bought the parking pass and rode the bus. It stopped at my apartment complex so it was a simple decision.

I would always park in the X lot behind Acacia on busy days. Never seemed to be full.

Plus, it's the first week of school, give it a couple weeks and the dropouts and slackers will stop showing up for class

The kicker used to be when you would follow someone for five minutes and then they get to their car, swap out some books, lock the car and head back to class. FML.

It’s been getting worse every year but LSU doesn’t do anything about it. Beyond frustrating.

This was the case when I moved off-campus in '96. I cannot imagine how bad it is now with the enrollment numbers.

I’d park outside of campus and bring my bike and ride it in. Easy peasy.

well, the solution is no freshman parking on campus. Like many other campuses all over the country

While frustrating.. what did she expect you to do about it?
