The Great Parking Caper: Freshman Edition
The Deal: Freshmen are absolutely welcome to bring their car to JU! Just don't expect to snag a prime spot right outside your dorm. JU prioritizes parking for upperclassmen who live off-campus, so freshmen get...well, let's just say their parking options might be a bit of an adventure. Think of it as a character-building exercise!
The Good News: There is plenty of parking available on campus, though some lots might be a bit of a trek from your dorm. But hey, that just means more steps (and more pizza to cancel them out!). Plus, JU offers a free shuttle service that can whisk you away from your distant parking spot to the heart of campus.
The Not-So-Bad News: While that prime parking spot might be elusive, freshmen permits are generally cheaper than upperclassmen permits. So, you might be parking further away, but at least you'll have more cash for, you know, actual adventures.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Freshman Parking FAQs: Your Burning Questions Answered (Kinda)
How to register my car?
Head to the Campus Security office during business hours. They'll get you all set up with a permit and some sage advice on navigating the JU parking labyrinth.
How much does a freshman parking permit cost?
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Less than an upperclassmen permit! The exact cost changes year to year, but you can find the latest info on the JU website (search "parking permit").

How to avoid a parking ticket?
Simple: Park in the right spot, display your permit correctly, and don't be that person who takes up two spaces. JU Campus Security is friendly, but parking violations are no laughing matter (or should we say, parking ticket matter?).
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
How to survive the long walk from the parking lot?
Befriend your fellow freshmen and carpool! Plus, walking is good for you (and might help you resist that extra slice of pizza).
How to score that coveted close parking spot?
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Become best friends with a senior who lives off-campus. Just kidding (mostly). There's no guaranteed way to snag a close spot, but freshmen with disabilities can apply for special permits that grant them access to closer parking areas.
So, there you have it, freshmen! JU welcomes your car with open arms (or at least an open parking lot, somewhere). Just be prepared for a bit of a parking adventure, and remember, sometimes the best part of the journey is the walk (or shuttle ride) itself.
