Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

From the on-campus resident who only takes their car out once a week to an off-campus commuter who drives to class every day, everyone can agree that parking is a nightmare. The main resident lots are located far away from the dorms, and the commuter lots fill up by early morning. Unless you have class impossibly early or impossibly late, commuters can expect an impossibly long walk to the academic buildings. Some students that live on campus talk about driving around for over an hour before finding a spot. Giant piles of snow make for an even messier situation during the long winter months.

As if the parking situation doesn’t sound bad enough now, things are only going to get worse. Increased enrollment, a rise in students living on campus, and new construction projects encroaching on existent parking spaces will all combine to further aggravate residents and commuters alike. Perhaps the freshman car ban is a blessing in disguise.

Parking is Awful

Parking on campus is a nightmare for commuters, but convenient for on-campus residents (on campus parking lots are right next to resident halls). Commuter lots fill up very quickly, are far from classes, and commuter passes are expensive (around $120 a year). Taking the bus sucks, but it's probably a more convenient option.

Parking in Binghamton Is Expensive and Crowded

Parking in Binghamton is $120 for both off and on campus students for the academic year, which is quite expensive for such a small town. Parking is difficult to find and is often far from residents halls and classes. Parking services are very strict with following parking rules and regulations, and often give unnecessary and expensive tickets. If you don't need a car, don't bring one.
