Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For starters, almost everything on campus is accessible within 15 minutes, and the University offers the free and reliable Colgate Cruiser to students and the community. That being said, parking is restricted, and parking regulations are very actively enforced by Campus Safety.

First-years and sophomores (as well as others living in traditional residence halls) are relegated to the first-year lot, wedged between Starr Rink, the health center, and Tyler's Field—it's definitely a walk with an armful of groceries! As students move up the ladder, however, there is more than ample parking at the Broad Street houses (Greek and interest houses), as well as in the apartment and townhouse communities. While students are allowed to drive and park "up the hill" after 3:30 p.m., don't make the mistake of parking overnight, as this is one of the most enforced violations. Parking is free, but be sure to spend a bit of time reviewing the parking regulations on campus.

You'd Better Get Used to Walking. . .A Lot

If you're a freshmen with a car expect EVERYONE to ask you for rides, but don't worry, when you finally tell them how far away you had to park it they'll probably never ask you again. Colgate is one of the fittest campus' in the country mainly due to the fact that people walk and don't drive, so parking is pretty much non-existant.

Cannot park up the hill until 3:30 which is annoying because you need to walk to take the cruiser up. Other than that parking is great. Freshmen can have cars on campus. Never got a ticket my three years there.

Friends With Cars

Colgate is in the middle of nowhere. That being said, it is also a school of rich kids. That means, odds are if you don't have a car, you know someone who does and would be willing to drive you where you need to go.
