there is very little free parking and by very little I mean almost none. The only option is the small lots littered near the engineering buildings.



With a dorm there she will need to buy a parking pass if she wants to park a car there.



which dorm is it ? that helps a bit.

LOL, good luck man! I don't have suggestions, but parking sucks donkey nuts at UT. I'm moving into my apartment tomorrow in Austin, but there will be plenty of parking for me. :beer:

during official dorm movein, they will allow you to park in front of kinsolving no problem.

kingsolving is on 26th and whitis. they will most likely allow you to park on whitis for 2 hour blocks.

don't worry about move in.

I thought she had a car that she wanted to park for the school year.
