Hey all. I'm starting to look into all the side costs of college, and as somebody who loves her car, I'm wondering about parking costs. Out of curiosity, which college has the most expensive parking pass? I'm just trying to gain some perspective on the potential costs outside of tuition, books, etc.
Hey there! Kudos to you for thinking ahead about ancillary costs in college - they can certainly add up! For instance, parking permit prices can vary dramatically across schools, but it's the University of Southern California (USC) that ranks at the top for the most expensive student parking passes. As of the last info I came across, USC's annual parking pass can cost up to $738, which can really add to your budget!
That being said, it's also vital to check out alternative modes of transportation that universities might offer, like shuttle services, bicycle programs, or discounted public transit passes. You might find that you won't need your car as often as you think, which can save you some serious cash! Best of luck on your college journey!
