Sarah,

Depends which college and how well you get on with the porters! Also,
it obviously depends on how much parking space they actually have -
not every college has a huge underground car park like mine!

Some colleges obviously like to treat their graduates better than
others, in the hope of financial assistance when we all become
millionaires! Mine also gives free dining on High Table twice a Term!

Some colleges already know exactly who the rich people are. This means
they can throw some occasional free grub in the direction of
impoverished Yorkshiremen, while arranging special functions to be nice
to the City people who have lots of money which they could be separated
from.

Sam,

It's a REAL shame that the Park & Ride closes so early. It means I can
never use it, since if I want to attend dinner in College it's not
going to be available for my return journey. Even if they only
operated once an hour between say 8p.m. and midnight it would be
something.

I'm not sure that trying to drive after claiming my high table dinners
would have been a very good idea!

No parking, but we can get a guest room, free or at low cost depending
on phases of the moon or something. Which reminds me, I need to book one
for next term.
