I searched far and wide to find a parking space on campus today,during the rush at 12:30, and I stumbled upon a little lot (it looks to be lot 27 based on the map) just above the stadium lot that I had never noticed before. The fact that the stadium lot was full in the first place, as well as every other lot on campus, should be enough to show how apparent the parking issues are at UMBC. All the spaces at lot 27 were full, but I noticed someone in front of me parking their car just outside the lot on the grassy field next it. "Hey, that's a good idea," I thought, especially since he wasn't the only one making a parking space for himself; I saw at least 12 other cars doing the same thing. So I parked, had a small conversion about how ridiculous the parking was with the guy who parked next to me, and then went to class late due to my issues with finding a space. When I came back there was an attendant writing tickets for all the cars parked in the grass. I went to open my door and she quickly yelled to me, "I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told the other guys, you can't put your car here, this is a campus park." Luckily she hadn't gotten to my car yet, so I was sparred but I let her know that the students parking here were only trying to get to class with limited time, I don't think they meant any harm by parking on the grass. Her response, "Oh they know they're breaking the law," she said as she continued writing her ticket; and let me note that all these cars had the commuter pass inside their windshield.

All these students wanted to do was park and go to class, they were not deviously rubbing their hands together when they parked thinking "oh yeah, this will surely piss off someone."Cut them some freakin' slack, it's not like they have many other places to park, trust me I checked. 

No one parking on campus is "trying to break the law," they just want a gosh darn education, and a parking space to get there, is that too much to ask for? How about a warning system or something; a second chance for these clearly devoted students would have been nice.

Just something to consider.

My name Kyle. I have a really big family and I know for winter commencement the school only gives 4 tickets which isn't going to be anywhere near enough. I am trying to gauge how many tickets I can get so I can invite family members in advance. Please message me or comment if you are willing to give your tickets away -- I am willing to pay for them too.

Thanks in advance,

Kyle
