Befriend the elderly
Parking fees are too expensive. Poor college students have to pay a lot of money for parking to go to a class that they’ve taken out a loan to attend. If you want free parking nearby campus and are close to being homeless, become friends with an older adult.
Because the elderly and handicapped can park in more convenient places, they tend to pay less for parking. If you can borrow their tag, then find a nearby spot to your campus without having to worry about steep parking fees. While this may sound like breaking the law, it’s actually not that bad, considering other life hacks out there.
