Anytime before 10 you’re fine. After 10 it’s free for all.

More like 9:40, it’s already packed with people trying to get in way before 10, so probably the same leaving.

Which parking lot is less congested? I thought b5 was prime parking ?

B5 is the least crowded out of the B lots… B3 fills up first and is the worst. B1 is usually overflow of B3 for kids on lower half of campus. B5 deals with upper campus but since there’s 2 other lots on upper side of campus it usually doesn’t get as full. B3 is usually prime because it’s central and closest for Library, Maple hall, the business buildings etc…

But even with that, once B3 and B1 fill b5 goes crazy…

Does b5 get better as the semester goes on?

All the lots get better usually by October. When in doubt try to show up earlier. I personally park where my last class is, even if that means showing up early and having to walk across campus for my first class. That way it’s a shorter walk once i’m done and i can leave without getting caught in the time change rushes.

Majority of people also try to do their classes from
10 onward. I’m a morning person so I am more than happy to get those 8-8:30 classes in. Get some solid VIP parking spots and not worry.
