ill be at STAR the 30th. living at home 1st year though, might move downtown next summer. i'd be down for having a car club deal. what's the parking pass situation?

 

If you don't already have a parking pass then your kinda sol. All the good ones (parking decks) usually sell out pretty quick. When you got for star you can get a pass their for whatever is available. My first year I ended up parking in the SG lot on the corner or cary and bel. It's about 3-4 blocks from class but it wasn't too bad.

 

damn i must get a parking garage....im goin to star tomorrow...i wont be denied dammit

 

i just don't want my car to be jacked/robbed/vandalized like it already has been downtown. being gutted might scare a few away, no faceplate could be another, but the wheels and exhaust could attract some. grrr, how's the security on the street parking lots? i mean, i have an alarm with starter kill and all that, but do the lots have cameras?

 

Just don't leave anything of value in plain view...in the same token, don't leave your windows cracked, and don't tint them so dark as to make it seem like your hiding valueables in there. It's pretty shitty to have to change your lifestyle due to some pieces of shit out there.

 

im going to vcu next year to staying in cabaniss with a guy from the richmond area im from Va. Beach myself and am looking to get to know ome car people that will be going there. email me at zz4748@hotmail.com we can chat and hopefully meet at college.

 

Downtown Richmond is like any other urban city. Cameras on a limited number of private buildings, some areas are better lit than others, and the majority of property crimes against vehicles will be either smash & grab or parallel parking bumper taps.

 

+1

If you live on campus and get a premit to park in the deck IMO your car and what not will be pretty safe. Residents are required to park on the upper levels of the decks and their is 24hr parking security people that are supposta patrol the decks. but usually they just hang out at the bottom talking on the telephone or making out with their siginificant other in the little booth's....lol....but overall I'd have to say the decks are pretty safe. With an alarm you should be straight. And the little blinking security lights on the dash are always a plus.

 

my goal was accomplished, i got a parking deck 2 blocks from my dorm...its fucking sweet
