Freshmen & Cars at UWG: Buckle Up for the Truth (and Maybe Some Parking Struggles)
So, you're a shiny new UWG Wolf Cub (congrats!), and you're itching to bring your trusty chariot (aka car) to college. But before you pack the trunk with ramen noodles and questionable life decisions, let's talk about the real deal with freshmen and four wheels at the University of West Georgia.
The Straightforward Answer (with a Twist)
Yes, freshmen can have cars on campus. But (isn't there always a but?), parking can be a bit of a competitive sport, especially during peak times. Think of it like musical chairs, but with metal boxes and fewer singalongs.

Living on Campus? Buckle Up (Literally)
If you're residing in a residence hall, you'll need to snag a residence hall parking permit. These are limited, so don't wait until move-in day to register your ride. Think of it like applying for that super cool summer internship – the earlier the better!
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Living Off-Campus? Park and Pray (Just Kidding, Mostly)
Living off-campus offers more parking flexibility, but finding a spot near your classes can still be a challenge. The good news? UWG has a campus shuttle system that's free for students. Just download the app, track the shuttles in real-time, and avoid the parking drama altogether.
But Wait, There's More! (The Fun Part)
Having a car at UWG opens up a world of possibilities beyond the dreaded cafeteria food. Weekend adventures to Atlanta? Check. Grocery store runs for actual vegetables? Double-check. Spontaneous donut deliveries to impress your crush? Triples check.

Just Remember, Freshman Friend:

- Parking permits cost money. Budget accordingly (those donuts won't buy themselves).
- Parking rules are a thing. Read them, understand them, and avoid the wrath of the parking ticket gods.
- Consider alternative transportation. The UWG shuttle is a lifesaver, and your legs are surprisingly good for short trips.
