some of us actually commute, and its the douchebags who already live on campus yet still, for some ****ing reason, get a parking permit when their dorms are like 2 ****ing steps away from campus...


not trying to be an *** just trying to keep it real.

WTF? ever think that maybe those people would like to get home every now and again?
or maybe leave campus for things like food and god forbit...work.

Maybe someone should push the school into building offsite parking for dorm students.

I was in the dorms my freshman year..shoot I was in the dorms in high school. Both places we had seperate parking for dorm students....a bit farther from the classes so commuters could park close.

Blech. After the wendys opened near I-80, I really never went to BK there again.
We had redrum (formerly known as murder) and then In and out opened my last year there.

True, the ride to the metro station > san jose train station > SF is about 3:30 to 4 hours long from santa cruz. After a few weeks of doing that i got tired and decided to get a space at........its some lot that the boardwalk owns that UC students can buy stickers to park at, but i warn you that place is ghetto, if you love your car you'll take a beater to college if you must have a car.

you can always take amtrak home from davis, its a pretty nice ride, that's what i'll be doing until my car gets out of the shop. the amtrak station is pretty close to campus, just take the A busline. someone will have to pick you up from the station though. pretty much everyone i know without cars in davis just takes amtrak

i don't know a percentage, but i'd say 70% of the people i know there have cars and the rest don't. They are all jnr's and snr's though. pretty much everyone takes the bus or bikes to and from campus, car or not.

you really don't need a car if your a freshman. if you need to go home just take amtrak

Lol that was me! Saving money on gas was the prime objective then and should be even more the case now... Over 2.00$/gallon??? Geez.. Of course Japan pays 4-5$ a gallon so we are still very fortunate.
