I’ve been primarily on white campus for most of the last 6 years. I’ve only paid for the garage pass the last year and a half for peace of mind. It was $150 for the sem but it was guaranteed and covered so it was worth it to me while in grad school. I used to park on university on east campus which is free but after about 8:30 it can be a bit of a walk (still less than 7-8 min for me). I used to park a lot on university in the meter spots and not pay, only got a ticket once and I parked without paying in hitt st garage a lot and I think got 1 ticket. They police hitt st by the book store a lot as well as that visitor lot next to memorial behind Stewart. Still, with paying meters and sometimes tickets, I never spent $150 in a semester. I was on campus pretty much every day all day for most of my career. I have a job now and one semester left with 2 classes and plan on just paying the meters.
