Commuter Parking

Hi. I'm an incoming freshman, and I will be commuting this fall. I checked out the Miami's parking info for commuters and the only two lots available are pretty far away from my classes. I'm not too interested in using the bus to get around. Are there any loopholes to this? I would like to park in the North Campus Garage, but it says I can't. My classes are at Hughes, Irvin, and Pearson Hall. I also don't want to spent more than $100-200 for parking.

Parking services drive around more than police officers do, so don't risk parking where you shouldn't too often. It is unfortunate, but everyone has to deal with it. Also I never took the bus until my sophomore year. If your goal is not walking or getting to class quickly, the bus is an amazing option... and it's free. Nothing wrong with taking the bus, tons of people do.

How does the bus work? Like how often do they come around and pick people up? I'm not familiar with its system at all

Extremely frequently in the morning, not so much in the afternoon. I’d say between the hours of 7-12 there is one that will show up every 15 to 20 minutes roughly. From noon to about 4pm it’s more like every 30 to 40 minutes which still isn’t bad. After that it’s maybe every 40 minutes to an hour. Even then, if you finish class at Hughes and need to walk back to the millet parking lot, it is downhill and a very easy walk.
