Parking Options at MSU

With the 2013 - 2014 school year coming to a close, some students at Michigan State may be weighing their options for parking on campus next fall.

I've sat down with students in multiple situations in the past week - one who parks in the commuter lot, one who parks near campus, one who rides the bus and one who lives on campus without a car.

There are many pros and cons.

If you live off campus and have a lot of time taking advantage of the Capitol Area Transportation Authority's system of bus routes may be a good option for you.

If you don't have a lot of time to spend on the bus, or if you need to get somewhere quickly after you get out of class, you may want to consider purchasing a parking permit for the commuter lot from the MSU Parking Office.

If you live on campus walking and riding the bus may be a great option for you, but  don't forget to think about how you're going to travel home if you choose to.
