I have done that twice but with security uptight about it.  The first time
was when I arrived a day before dorms opened and could not get a hotel room.
I decided to sleep in the commuter lot but was told to leave when they saw
me.  Ended up sleeping at a mall parking lot.

The second time at another school security would go through the lots
with spot lights and flashlights looking for any strange activity.  I was
asleep on the foldout bed and with tinted windows they did not see me
eventhough they looked in.
