Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking is limited, and it’s one of the few things that
Public Safety regulates. You must have a permit to
park conveniently, and to get a permit, you must convince Public Safety that you need a car. Parking without a
permit may involve a long walk, a hefty fine, or, if done cleverly, a feeling of great satisfaction. Students either believe that the advantage of having a car diminishes the hassle and fuss about how problematic the parking situation is. Either way, parking is a hassle, but it will only be your hassle if you think you absolutely cannot live without a car at Bryn Mawr.

Freshmen are not given permits, so parking will not be
an immediate concern. If you think you might need a car after freshman year, say, for an important internship far from campus or for necessary family obligations, do not despair, because if you discuss your situation with Public Safety, they are likely to give you a permit. If your reason is not compelling to Public Safety, you will have to decide if you are willing to hike to and from your car, risk being booted, or move it so it does not get towed after a snow storm.

Parking? Never Worry

First of all, Bryn Mawr's campus is so small, you don't need a car. That being said, I had one and drove from Erdman to Park every day, limiting my walking time to about 2 minutes. Tickets are annoying if you park illegally, but the lots are so close to buildings, there's really no need.

Parking at Bryn Mawr

I do not own a car to use or park with on campus, but the parking on campus is all right, there seem to be enough spots for students, but they are strict about where students are allowed to park their cars.

I wouldn't know much about...

I wouldn't know much about parking. I, like the majority of the student body, do not have a car. I would imagine that parking is not great since the parking spaces always seem to be full. Freshmen can't *technically* have cars, but it isn't actually unheard of. You don't really need a car at Bryn Mawr. The R5 is only a short walk away and there is the blue bus system to take you to Haverford and Swarthmore.
