| bcit parking safer now?
attending classes in feb and was wondering if it is safe to park at bcit.
i been reading the old threads and it seems like bcit has alot of car theft.
i will be driving my vintage mustang and will be taking trades.
any tips for where to park? safest place to park?i will be attending class in the morning till around 3-4pm.
dont think i will be taking transit since it takes me over an hour to bus and about half hour to drive to bcit

I park around NE24 (trades area), and my car hasn't been touched once even though the Yellow Lot is very close to Canada Way. I think they've stepped up patrols.

Yeah just avoid the big gravel lot by the icbc place and youll be good. I had my jdm honda badge stolen from therre so I've been parking in the main lot since and haven't had any problems. Posted via RS Mobile |

Just stick to the main lots and you'll be fine. Don't forget to arrive early as parking fills up super fast.

^ +1. Less of a pain in the ass since you're not carrying any change.

I remember back in the day before they changed the parking ticket machines - and people used to pay for tickets with unactivated Credit Cards.... I didn't drive to school back then though...

didnt get in till sept. anyone know how safe is parking A?
have class at 6:30 in the morning so getting a spot shouldn't be a problem.
i did see some Persians snooping around a benz the other day i went to take a entrance test.
which lot is the safest?
any help for a freshman would be great
will be doing the epass or semester pass. whatever they have

It's a 16-week max e-pass. I park in A-lot on a daily basis, and it's safe, patrols are pretty active, and I barely see any sketchy people around. You won't have ANY problems getting a spot that early as well, I showed up at school for 6:30 due to the welding component of my program.
You also get the spots closest to the walkways, so you can box your car into the corner.
