Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The only reason parking at Baylor is considered so awful and difficult is because some prime lots are right next to buildings that people spend the majority of their days in. That said, if you live a few blocks off campus, get a bike, or just leave a little earlier. The campus isn’t big enough to warrant all the cars competing for the same spots, because you can walk across the entire thing in roughly ten minutes. If you live way off campus, drive to the Ferrell Center and take the trolley, or park in one of the garages. Most cars belonging to on-campus students don’t move for the majority of the week. Parking also gets troublesome when it’s raining, but generally, if you’re a little patient and into cardio, you won’t need to drive to campus.

Fighting traffic at peak time periods is ridiculous. If you live a block or two, or even five, from campus, you’ll be able to walk there faster than you can drive. Traffic blocks up all along Bagby, University Parks Drive, and Eighth Street during peak hours. The biggest drawback is that the number of parking stickers is unlimited, so there are a lot more students competing for a minimum number of spots. After about 3 p.m., you’ll never have trouble finding a spot, but really, the only reason the parking situation is so absurd is because students want to park right outside their dorm room windows, or drive straight into the building lobby where their first class is located!

A Struggle

Our school has a lot of parking, but not enough for the amount of students who have cars on campus. It is a struggle tryingto find a parking spot, even on the 3rd floor of the garage.

Parking at Baylor is so expensive!! I had to buy a $245 parking pass for this whole year. The upside is that it's good to park ANYWHERE on campus... but when you have 15,000 other students with the same parking pass and only a handful of garages placed sparingly around campus, parking can be a pain in the butt! I have to leave my apartment super early sometimes just to find parking and I'll STILL be late to class! So annoying. I'd suggest walking or riding a bike to class if you live close to campus. Save your money and frustration!

Parking, Parking, Parking

Parking on campus near classes is not the best. While Baylor does provide many parking garages, they are located around the perimeter of the school so you still have to walk quite a distance to class. You will always be able to find somewhere to park your car on campus, but it might be farther from your classes than you want it to be.
