Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are plenty of places around campus for you to park your car—if you don't mind getting a ticket. There are lots next to most dorms, but there's simply not enough space on campus to match the amount of parking permits they sell each year. Students parked in faculty lots are frequently ticketed. Even worse is when there's snow on the ground or construction blocking the lots. The bottom line: don't bring a car to Allegheny and get used to walking or biking.

The main reasons why students drive to class are because they wake up late or they don't want to walk in the cold. The campus is small compared to big universities, and you can walk from one end to the complete opposite end in 10 minutes. There isn’t much parking around the academic buildings themselves, and the spaces that do exist are generally reserved for faculty. Most people at Allegheny use their cars to go to Wal-Mart or Erie, but not on an everyday basis to get around campus.

Parking at Allegheny

$75 per semester. Freshman parking fills up the quickest, but there is always room elsewhere(though not quite as convenient). Parking lots for every dormitory, with a few extra lots for overflow. Many people do not pay for parking and just park on the street. Unless you live really far away off-campus, everyone walks to classes. You can manage without a car if you don't mind walking/biking a bit down town for groceries, supplies, etc. Walmart is 15 mins away driving.

Not Really Needed

A car on campus is not really necessary, but for those who do have cars parking spaces can be annoying. The parking permits are not a terrible price, but spaces are limited and students will often park in the wrong lots.

Parking Is Rough

Plain and simple there is not enough parking. There are too many people with cars and not enough spots for them. The North Village parking lot is a nightmare as it is gravel and cannot be plowed during the long Meadville winters.
