I recently just moved to Oahu for college and I was wondering if I would have any theft/vandalism problems. I want to buy a subie and ship it here but I live on campus and do not have a parking permit. The car would mostly be parked on dole street and occasionaly around the residential homes. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jordan

 

DON'T park on Dole St. That is the scariest place to park a car there. Park up on Oahu Rd. by the president's mansion in the residential area. MUCH safer there and easier to find parking too.

 

Where is Oahu Road and the president mansion? Is this on top of the steep hill further down on dole street? Sorry I have only been here one semester and have read various posts about parking.

 

like sneezerboi said, DO NOT PARK ON DOLE ST. you either have to not care about your car or be insane to park it there overnight.

 

Hows about getting a parking permit first? If you can't get a good home for your car don't get the car.

 

There is probably no chance of me getting a permit b/c im a freshman. I made it one semester without a car and I don't think I can make it the second lol. I'm from Cali and love the import/muscle car scene.

 

How well do you know the UH campus? Oahu Rd is way up the hill near the College of Business at UH.

 

screw the dole st parking

if you are down for walking, the area near jcch isn't bad, but don't park in my spot!
i couldn't get a permit this semester so i park off campus, if i see another suby in my spot when there aren't any openings all hell will break loose! i will go straight home and cry like a baby.

good luck man

 

Just get a good alarm

 

talking about suby's at UH...who's that black BES that parked on the 4th floor today??? has a C/O 2003 tassel on his rear view mirror...just like me...

 

Agree....Dole street is not a safe place......get a safe parking spot before shipping over your car.....I would rather suffer another semester without a car, than having a car stolen....

 

i'd just get a moped. everything is close and you can park almost anywhere. and the parking permit is cheap and allows you to park anywhere on campus.

 

1. Go up University Ave.
2. Turn left on Maile Way.
3. Turn Right on Oahu Rd.
4. Park anywhere as long as it doesn't specify "no parking"

If you go in the evening or early morning, there will be tons of free parking in the residential area. Park by the mansion or the church. It's a quiet neighborhood and the residents are mainly senior citizens. If you park in a legal area, you can just leave your car there all week and nobody will bother it. I used to park there when I dormed.

 

Oh, and if you look around on the bulletin boards on campus, some nearby residents offer students their driveways for rent. You can rent a spot in their driveway for a monthly fee.

Parking passes are near impossible to get unless you're a senior or know people in the parking office.

 

Damn...they gotta build a parking structure or something over there ASAP! I always feel bad for those people that live in Manoa and have cars in front of their house all the time. I graduated from Mid-Pac and know what it's like.

You guys can't park in the Stan Sherrif Center Parking Structure?
