Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

This is a university in a commuter city already so short of parking that the decision to build two new campus parking garages was ingenious, and all the parking problems have recently been resolved. That being said, construction is still taking place on campus, and as you may have heard, there are two seasons for Nebraska drivers: winter and construction. For Creighton, construction seems like a year-round process. This campus changes looks like an aging pop star trying to make a comeback, but things are starting to slow down, and the construction vehicles are starting to leave. But, it’s hardly fair to condemn the University, which is planning to improve things by building new buildings, and the two parking garages have definitely made many commuter students happy.

All in all, the school’s current parking issues are well-resolved with the completion of the garages. It is a worthwhile improvement that puts smiles on all the students drivers’ faces for years to come, but, unfortunately, the excuse, “I couldn’t find a place to park” will no longer work.

Stressful

Parking is scarce and expensive. There are not nearly enough parking garages/lots to accommodate the faculty and student need. This is a constant complaint and moves are being made to try to improve the situation.

Parking Is Available Close to Every Building

I am only on campus during the summer, but there are parking lots everywhere. At the university where I got my undergrad, there is no parking on campus, and students have to walk miles to the classroom. Whichever building I need to be in during my time on campus, there is always a parking lot right next to it.

Horrible

If you live off campus good luck finding a place to park after 8:30 am. Other times can be okay, but overall Creighton is very lacking in on campus parking options.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

All students may obtain parking permits; however, parking spots are first-come, first-parked, and no one is guaranteed a spot. In the past, there hasn’t been a big problem finding any spot—but a decent spot is a different story altogether. Faculty and students park in different lots, although faculty lots are open to students at night and on weekends.

Did You Know? The two parking structures, which opened in January of 2006, house a total of 1,100 stalls, with 640 located at 24th and Burt and 450 at 20th and Cass. The structures have provided significant relief to our campus's parking situation.
