Student parking

I park at work in a large parking deck. Campus parking has sectioned it off so that they sell student parking on the 5th and 6th floor; staff can park anywhere. The parking deck is massively under-utilized right now, meaning most of the staff park on the lower decks (2-3, the first deck is shops and ramps,) and the students fill the areas near the elevators on the 5-6 floors.

I often work late, and don't get back to my car until between 6-7pm. Anyone who drives on campus knows that the lots go 'free' after 5pm (4pm in the winter when it gets dark early.) If you're parking on campus after 5, park in any lot, whereever (as long as it's not a rental spot.) They don't police it until 2am on the weekdays. The parking deck is lot B4 - no different than any other lot on campus, except it's stacked concrete instead of a (paved|rock) lot.

So when I leave work, and see students driving all the way up to the 5th floor, I think they're stupid. They could park on two, or three... You don't need to go up to the top of the deck. Park closer, dumbasses.
