Students complain that Mason parking sucks, but what they should be saying is "I'm lazy." Mason has enough parking to accommodate everyone's parking needs, but the majority of parking is located at least a 10 minute walk away from the center of campus, according to Josh Cantor, director of Parking and Transportation Services.

"Students come to my office and complain to me everyday about how they can't find a parking spot," said Cantor, "and I point to the map of campus and inform them that there is parking and where it is available. Unfortunately it is just not convenient enough to meet their desired needs."
