So what's the story with parking on campus?

    Anyone i've been talking to says that they'd prefer to skydive and try jump though a 1 metre diamter ring 10 feet above ground than try and find a parking spot on campus (after 9 anyway). That's mixed with the fact that i don't have a clue how to pay for it is making me a very confused boy.

    So does anyone have any tips? Maybe i could park somewhere else on busy days and get a bus the rest of the day? Any tips?

    Driving from Wicklow btw.

    Its very hard!! Lecturers find it hard to get a space!

    Theres a housing estate beside UCD Beach Hill its called.The top of it is beside the astro turf pitches you may find a spot in it along a pavement.

    I'd say you'd be ok parking at the Montrose hotel opposite the main entrance. They don't have barriers or anything as far as I know.

    Or you could arrive at the campus before 9am and find out how to pay?

    You don't have to pay in most of the car parks. Or else I've been obliviously parking without paying for 3 years?
