On another note, I pretty much taught creative parking 501 (the advanced course) in college... blocking entire parking areas waiting for spots, creating spots where there were none but in areas tow truck couldn't tow from (be sure to remove your plate).
Some schools offer temporary medical parking permits (kinda like a temporary handicap permit but much easier to get, ask the school nurse, oh and have an excuse) anyways these are usually very easy to fake and afford you very good parking...
Of course once I realized that covering the vin number with my school parking permit but placing the permit to low for them to read the permit number and taking the plate off the car allowed me to park anywhere I wanted (faculty lots mostly) parking was never a problem again... I got tickets every day... Written to "the Black truck" hahaha
