Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Bringing your car is a definite must, and there’s plenty of parking all over campus. It’s also easy to get a permit—all you have to do is stop by the Public Safety Office and ask for one. Permits really aren't that expensive, which is a very good deal in comparison to other schools in the Boston area. This is not to say that parking is very convenient for students here, but compared to many other schools, this is a parking lot heaven. However, finding your car after a few nights of not driving can be a significant challenge, especially when it snows and all the cars look similar under that fluffy, freezing white coat.

Having a car is helpful when you want to get a late-night snack (there are no 24-hour restaurants on campus). Cars are also useful when heading for the mall or to the Wellesley Stop & Shop for some groceries. Some students go overboard and bring a winter and a summer car to campus. This can cause some congestion problems and is just another example of the wealth exhibited by most Babson students. Mostly, though, the school does a good job at providing ample parking for its students and visitors.

Always Available

Parking is fairly cheap being only $75 and there are always parking spots available. Just make sure you know which lots students are allowed to park in or you'll get fined $25.

Parking

Parking on Babson campus is far from everything unless you are one of the lucky few to get to Babson early enough to get parking near the classrooms and library. However, there is plenty of parking available.
