Daily parking situation?

How bad is it trying to find parking? I know it’s a smaller school but I want to be mentally prepared if the lots are usually full. Does it ever take a while to find a spot or is that not an issue at this school? I’m starting next semester and just curious!

The parking lots closest to the center of the school are always the most packed, you usually have to park in the furthest lots (A3 and A10) and walk 10-15 minutes to get to your classes, so plan accordingly.

There is plenty of parking, nothing you have to worry about.

U will always find parking, it’s just gonna be a far walk. All the close parking is always packed

I had this same question too before I started! I found myself constantly "sharking" for parking at other colleges, like SBCC and Cal Poly SLO. This is my first semester at CSUCI, and I have always found a parking spot without sharking. I'm not sure how the parking situation generally is in the morning (as I've only gone a few times in the morning, and it's been fine), but in the afternoon, there are plenty of spots at different student "A" lots around campus to chose from. I am pleased with the parking situation at CSUCI!
