Now an economics junior, Myers has found a solution for freshmen who want to have their cars with them during their first year of college. He leased a parking lot near campus, deeming it SpartyPark , where freshmen can park their cars throughout the 2014-2015 school year.

The lot is located at 3165 E. Michigan Ave. and sits about a quarter mile away from the Brody Neighborhood dorms. Incoming freshmen can register at the SpartyPark website. After paying $399, students receive a permit to park in the lot from August 1, 2014 to May 15, 2015. 

"As a freshman, not having a car inspired the idea," he said. "But also as an entrepreneur, you're always thinking about what you can do to make society better. I saw this problem and wanted to make things better."

Myers said the idea came to him around eight months ago. He then approached Paul Jaques , the director of student and community engagement at Spartan Innovations. 

Jaques brought him the motivation he needed, and Myers then put his efforts into calling various lots and finding a suitable property close to campus. 

"I helped in the beginning with him asking how to set everything up, how to take in money, just the basics of business," Jaques said. "When he first brought the idea to me, I thought it sounded great. Having space off campus to park is a really great idea." 

Media and information junior David Park  designed the SpartyPark webpage and acts as the company's branding consultant. He said he was surprised the idea had never been done before and believes it gives freshmen the opportunity to choose their freedom. 

If all goes well, Myers hopes to keep SpartyPark around even after he graduates. Right now, he simply hopes to get the word out and let others know his business is out there.

"I put my life savings into this company, so it's really risky, but I'm really passionate about helping these freshmen," Myers said. "I know the transition from high school to college can be hard. ... I'm doing this for them. I know what it's like to be cooped up in the dorms, and I want to give them the freedom to do what they need."
