Who's in college on the board?

[ScottWV]

Don't ride my bike to campus, but here at Kent State you just need a special permit, then have fun finding a spot to park it.

At my apartment, the landlord is nice and she let's me park it in between my car and my girl's car.  The spaces are wide and we own small cars so it works quite nicely.  

When I attended Lakeland Community College, they had a special lot for motorcycles only, that fit about 10-15 bikes.  Best part, it was VERY close to the main entrance.  No walking half a mile through the parking lot!

University of North Texas... it costs $70 per year.  The spaces are as close as you get and always available, which is a nice change from driving a car, because you can never find a spot.  Thing is I don't know what they use the parking fee for they obviously don't patrol motorcycle parking, we had 4 bikes stolen this year in broad daylight.

I'm at San Jose State.  I ride everyday otherwise I'll have to buy a $158/semester parking permit.  On top of that, the parking sucks so bad that you probably won't get a spot if you arrive after 8:45

They have motorcycle spots around the campus against the sidewalk that don't cost anything    ...at least to park it doesn't but my rain suit wasn't free

Pitt Panther here (University of Pittsburgh)...$20 a semester to park on campus with minimal diffiuclty in finding a spot.

Im a Junior at UW-Milwaukee.  I think that I paid $35 for a year.  This allows me to park in all the lots and ramps on campus, and I never have problems finding a space.

depaul univ. in chicago:
you can't even park your bike in the one garage.
but if you did, it would be hourly. best bet is squeezing between two cages and street parking and praying (it is a religous school    ) that no one knocks it over...

[joelbear52]

I'm at Cal Poly, SLO.  It's free with a car permit, but otherwise $45/yr.
Parking located centrally on campus.  
I've never had trouble finding anything.

Hey VT.

I hear you with the lot 80 parking in SC, but you have a bunch of downtown spots to choose from. I think that I caught you on McAllister a while back. That's prime for the south side of campus.

I lived on S. Burrowes when I was at PSU so I hoofed it regardless of where my classes were.

I'm a 2nd year ME at  Cal Poly

[vtlion]

bbanjo... I stand corrected... I failed to mention the available parking downtown.  I'm a McAllister Street regular, and its about a 5-10 minute walk in to the lab from there.  And the bonus is that its right next to the Cheese Shoppe (best coffee in town by a longshot).

on campus, though... bend over  :nana:

Worst part is that once upon a time you could park in faculty spots after 4pm or 5pm... now you can't even do that... restrictions are on until 9pm!!!  There are even restrictions on student parking in certain parking garages on the freakin' weekends!!!

I am considering (well, pretty much made up my mind) to quit work and go back to skewl full time and be able to devote more time to the bodywork and other projects.

[Moose]

Man I just wish I had the time to go to school and support my familiy at the same time.  Maybe someday.

[JamesG]

I know how you feel.  Its just right now the planets seem perfectly aligned for making this jump.
My job is a deadend and pointless, I hate the people I work with, the wife makes more $$$ than I do, no kids (yet), and the balance of my GI Bill money expires in 3 years (use it or lose it!).

I have a full time job + a part time job + part time night school to finish my BSME and some how still find time to play at the track.

....I just realized that we have the same bike in our avatars.

[JamesG]

Hehehe, yeah I noticed that and thought it was pretty cool.

[jake42]

Jake - Univ. of Pittsburgh.  Craig beat me to it on the motorcycle parking rates.

it's pretty cheap 20 bucks a semester for bikes.  Plus the motorcycle parking is literally right outside my office door.  riding my bike and parking saves me almost an hour a day in commute and parking time.  

although it was 29 degrees this am so it was alittle rough.  

better than 15-20 bucks a day to park in the garages around my building or the 85-150 a monthfor a parking permit at a univ. lot where you have to ride a freakin 20 minute shuttle to get to work.

Rutgers Univ. in New Jersey doesn't charge for parking a bike, we park bikes in all kinds of spots (like  by bicycle racks, by statues, by building doors) and never see a ticket . BUT if we park on a lot, we need a bike space, and those are only on lots with meter checker ladies, so the ladies ask us to show ID.
It is very nice to see so many colege riders here... I went riding with a couple of great guyes from NJ, but both of them have families and that's just not the same. I was begining to think that I was the only student on the board .

It's not the cages it's their drivers and 1% of bikers

[mrslush50]

Green River Community College in Auburn Washington.

I pay nothing a year and the motorcycle only parking is right infront of the main campus buildings.  Way closer than any of the car spots.  

My school is very motorcycle friendly.
