When I met with the 450 UF teaching assistants, I offered teaching strategies and advice. One of my pieces of advice was to be sure to have a transportation plan for next week when classes start.

On a campus with 51,000 students, more than 5,000 faculty and administrative staff and maintanence staff, the competition is intense for parking places. Even having paid for a parking decal, the parking decal is called a “hunting license.” But plenty of parking today when it’s the week between semesters with no classes.
