Student Perceptions of Parking
Parking is a major concern on college campuses. With over half of the students who responded to the survey having parking permits (Figure 19), we asked students questions pertaining to affordability and convenience of parking at NDSU as well as the possibility of using MAT to resolve parking problems.
Figure 19. Students with Parking Permits (n=598)
The highest number of parking permits issued on the NDSU campus was in the T and R lots (Figure 20).
Figure 20. Parking Lots Used by Survey Respondents (n=342)
NDSU respondents indicated they are satisfied with on-campus parking convenience (Figure 21). Nearly 28 percent of student respondents rate NDSU's parking convenience as either good or very good, while 26 percent indicated that the parking convenience was poor or very poor.

When asked about parking affordability, most respondents, 46 percent, indicated it was poor to very poor, only 12 percent rated the parking affordability as good or very good (Figure 22).
