Freshman Parking

Now that freshmen have to park out at the Kite Hill parking lot, Clemson makes a lot of money off parking tickets. I did not get one ticket first semester, but now that I have to park a mile away from where I live I have received five tickets this semester. I also have many friends who have recieve multiple parking tickets this semester. It is such a pain to walk a mile just to get your car.  Once you have it out you really dont feel like putting it back until you absolutely have to. The reason I have five tickets this semester is because I have had my car out a few hours before you are allowed to park in green spots and have not felt like parking it just to get it out in a few hours. So, I take a risk and hope I don't get a ticket for parking in a green spot for a few hours. It is also stupid that you cannot park in the horseshoe and sheep barn green spots until after 7:30 everyday which has led to most of my tickets. Clemson parking services are stealing students money and something needs to change.
