Best Places to Find a Spot It's best to stick to your permitted lot during the week, as Campus Safety is constantly patrolling at night hoping to ticket someone. However, from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday, parking is basically a free-for-all.
Good Luck Getting a Spot Here Really, it all depends on where you're living. It can be really frustrating when your lot doesn't match up to your residence.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

All students are permitted to have a car on campus, and because you are assigned specific lots to park in, finding a spot is never too hard. On weekends it can be frustrating, because from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday, parking is pretty much a free-for-all. Make sure that you’re in your assigned lot or zone because, come Sunday night, you’ll be guaranteed a ticket. Campus Safety patrols the lots nightly, and they are more than eager to punish all who don’t obey the parking rules.

As a general rule, the higher your class year, the better your parking spot, and the cheaper a permit will cost. Underclassmen pay $300 per year, and seniors pay only $100. As a first-year, you can bet on having to park across campus, but really it’s only a 10-minute walk at most, wherever you are. Come sophomore year, your permit will be more likely to match a lot close by your residence hall. As with most things, your parking privileges get better with time, so just be patient.

Cost to Have a Car Is Outrageous

Although it is not necessary to have a car to get from class to class, one may need a car to go places such as a grocery store. Albion is not a big town with a lot of stores having a car makes life a lot easier to get to stores. It is $300 for year-round parking. Chances are, your parking spot is no where near where you live, unless you are one of the lucky ones to live in an apartment.

Parking

There is plenty of parking at a reasonable price. The campus is small enough that anywhere you park is relatively close.

Basically anyone can park on...

Basically anyone can park on campus in the designated lots. Campus Safety tries to put you close to your living area, but freshmen often have to park in the further lots.
