Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking has been the subject of many frustrated editorials. It’s become a real problem for both students and faculty. Underclassmen are allowed to bring cars, so parking is at a premium. Overall, parking on campus is sufficient, but not to be confused with convenient. There are parking lots and spaces on campus streets for student-only parking, but don’t expect to find a space close to your classroom or residence hall. Also, it’s a hilly campus, so the five- to ten-minute walk from parking lots to campus destinations can be a work out. The AU Web site describes it as “invigorating . . . especially in winter!” Thanks guys.

Despite the hassle, you might as well bring your car anyway, in which case you must purchase a parking permit from the Campus Safety Office. The yearly fee is $50 per vehicle. You can register yours during orientation or at any time during the semester.

Parking is fairly accessible. There are a good amount of parking spaces...no less than the allocated permits. Permits cost $90, from what I have heard from friends at very large colleges, it is a great price. Tickets are issued when parked illegally (handicapped spot), or in a faculty spot which is reasonable. Any place on campus is walkable within 10 minutes. Cars are a huge luxury at Alfred, we are tucked back in a rural setting and to get to the nearest "city" is about 10 miles north. A car is very useful but there are shuttle services that take you there too.

$95 for students for full year. There could be more parking, but its usually pretty easy to find a spot close to your building.
