【正确答案】Key points: The woman's problem is that she has to drive to school and needs to park on campus, but the parking lots are not big enough, and a parking permit does not guarantee a space. One possible solution is for the woman to register for classes that meet in the afternoon, when the parking lots are less full. Another solution is to park in the park-and-ride lot a mile from campus and ride the free shuttle bus from there to campus. Opinions about the preferred solution will vary.
