Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The ease of parking at Centre is usually taken for granted. There is always an available spot somewhere near where you are trying to go, although it may involve a few minutes to walk from your parking spot to your dorm. Freshmen are allowed to bring cars, and many people on campus have a car, which is odd, because you don’t need it to go anywhere on Centre’s campus. The best places to park are behind Nevin/Breck, behind Bingham, and the lot behind Yerkes/Cheek/Evans. These places are well-lit and a minute’s walk from the dorms, which is handy, especially during move-in and move-out days. Of course, this also explains why these lots are almost always full.

DPS is serious about fining cars parked in faculty or staff lots. Weekends and evenings after 5 p.m., you can park anywhere, but at 8 a.m. the next morning, they are out in the lots ticketing. It’s also easy to forget where you parked your car because you’ll end up walking everywhere, and then when you need it to go off campus, it may take a couple of tries to remember where you left it. Having your decal on your back window is also a must, as it will elicit a quick ticket without its proper display. There is also a channel to contest tickets, and students have been able to repeal their fines.

Parking Is a Bitch

It's very hard to find a spot as many people bring cars to school and there just aren't enough spaces for people. The permit costs are ridiculous, causing most people to take a chance and not even pay for a permit. And you will want a car on campus because there is absolutely nothing to do. You will want to drive off campus many, many times whether it's to get food or to go party somewhere else. One good thing though is that all parking is relatively close to where you need to go, due to how small the campus is obviously.

Awesome Parking!

Compared to big schools, Centre's parking is awesome. Even while Pearl Hall was being built, it was still fairly easy to find a space within a block of where you wanted to be. That just does not happen at bigger schools, or in bigger cities. The parking is very safe, and permits are a heck of a lot cheaper than other campus, where parking can run up to $1000 a year.

Freshmen can bring a car, and there is plenty of parking on campus. Although sometimes you have to park about two or three blocks away, which can be a little sketchy at night when you have to walk by yourself back to the dorm. Most parking is pretty close.
