Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking is one of students’ biggest complaints. According to a 2011 article in the Belmont Journal (student newspaper), the University currently has 3,164 parking spaces. With a student body that’s more than 6,000 (plus faculty and staff), finding a parking spot can be stressful. Belmont security officers don't tend to show much mercy when it comes to parking tickets, either—leave your car in the wrong spot for 10 minutes and you'll probably be slapped with a fine. Thankfully, Belmont is trying to combat this problem. The school is in the process of developing two more parking garages.

For the time being, students are stuck circling the garages in vain, but most people try to make the best of it. Students will cheer good-naturedly when the person they’ve been following for 15 minutes finally gets a spot. Professors will arrive a few minutes late to class because even they couldn’t find parking, so they usually understand if a commuter student has the same problem. Everybody knows parking is terrible at Belmont, but if that’s the worst problem, the University’s in pretty good shape.

Could Be Better

Parking can be a nightmare. There are a ton of spots, but with the extremely high rate of commuters, these fill up very quickly. With the new buildings, hopefully there will be more parking spots available. However, allowing all students to have a car may be slightly unnecessary as a lot is accessible to students within walking distance or by free access to the public bus system. Tickets are usually fairly negotiable. But parking in general is not fun at all.

Bad Parking

Parking is terrible on Belmont's campus. You should definitely invest in a bike or set up a car pool with friends.

Getting Better

If you live on campus, parking should generally not be a problem as long as you're not trying to find a spot in the middle of the day. If you live off campus, get to campus at least 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Parking can be tedious, but there are enough spots, even if they're inconvenient, and they're building more spots. Tickets can be a hassle, but for everything except parking in a fire zone or handicapped spot you can take a test and have it dismissed. Only for the first ticket each semester, but if you get more than one a semester you're probably dumb.
