No Parking

Parking at FIU sucks, that is the only thing I can say, but there are some ways to make it better. Getting to school earlier will not guarantee parking but will give you more time to work with when you have an exam. Classes are scheduled in time blocks, so knowing when the "time block" before your class is will be helpful because many students are leaving, giving you a better chance to find parking. Also don't limit yourself to the lots or garages nearest to your class, an extra 5 minute walk to your class may save you a 30 minute zig zag following people to their cars. The new PG5 (on 8st and 109 ave) has excellent parking, so does the lot near the gym (in the evening) and so is the lot near the frost museum. Also note that FIU will give you a ticket if you are parked without a decal or if you "created" a parking spot, but the first week of the semester they are pretty lenient. If you must park at the end of the world be sure to take a bottle of water so you don't pass out from the walk. Good luck and remember that parking at FIU will always be terrible so don't let it eat you up :)
