Exactly, you were motivated by the inconvenience and expense of parking. Out of curiosity, why Conestoga and not Fairway....or Sportsworld...or even somewhere in Cambridge....at Conestoga, seems like you've already driven past UW.
As for finding a spot downtown, studies have shown our parking tops out at 70% utilization. There are always spots. But hey, if people want to take transit because they have the perception that there's no parking, that's great.
I had driven past UW, but Conestoga is close to the highway, so even with back tracking, the trip was quicker than taking iXpress from Cambridge and it gave me the flexibility to stay on campus later at night.
