Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Residential parking can be a pain depending on where you live, but not all hope is lost. Miller Deck is usually the best bet to find parking, although the lots between Forest and Kresge are decent too. Parking if you live in Collins can be a hassle because there are only a small number of spaces beside it, so you'll most likely be walking from either Miller or the Trees. Lower campus parking isn't as bad, but no matter where you end up there, you'll have a short trek. If you choose to live on North Campus, however, the parking situation gets a bit easier. There are usually open slots near all four of the buildings, and coming to campus, your pass gives you the option of either a residential lot or the commuter lots, which are closer to the academic buildings. Commuter lots are extensive, though finding parking on Tuesdays and Thursday can be a chore, given the number of people who choose to take classes on those days.

Freshman are not allowed to have cars on campus, excepting special circumstances, but don't fret. There is a shuttle into Harvard and a loop around campus, or you can always make friends with upperclassmen. Cars are not a necessity at Bentley, as most everything on campus is within a 10 minute walk, although it is built on a hill. Once you have an apartment on campus though, you may want to consider bringing a car or living with someone who has one for getting the groceries, etc. The parking permits are free, but beware of parking tickets! Parking in the wrong lot for your permit, parking in incorrect places, or even speeding can result in troublesome fees. Permits are also available on weekends for visitors.

Need for a Car on Campus

No need unless you have an internship, although it is convenient for off-campus dining, shopping, etc. However, there's a shuttle that takes you to Harvard Square where it's easy to access these amenities.

More Lots Needed

Freshmen can't have cars. For upperclassmen, convenient parking is concentrated in a couple lots, and many buildings do not have their own lot. Finding convenient parking for your building can be difficult, usually spots only open up on weekends. There is no off-campus parking.

Well There Are 7 Parking Lots on Campus...

Parking isn't really a problem at Bentley. There are enough spots for everyone..it's just a matter of finding a spot closest to your building, but even then nothing is more than 10 minutes away. You don't need a car on campus, either a friend will have a car or you can take the shuttle to get somewhere.

Freshman aren't allowed to have cars on campus except for special circumstances. Parking permits are free to students and parking for friends visiting isn't a problem either.
