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.

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.

Dude, Where's My Car?!

I don't have a car, but my friends that do love the availablity of parking, reasonable cost, and locations to park their vehicle. I have not really needed a car here and on the few occassions that I do, I know a good number of people that are available to drive me places.

Parking

Parking depends on where you live. As a freshman, parking really sucks because there is not very much parking near the freshman dorms. As a sophomore, if you live in McGloin, you have an entire parking garage and an outdoor parking lot at your disposal. Most upperclassmen that live off campus take the shuttle to school, so then you don't even have to worry about parking. Parking permits are just under $300 for the year, and public safety is not afraid to hand out tickets! But they are also very understanding.....I have gotten several tickets, but I have not paid a single one yet.

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?

Best Places to Find a Parking Spot:
By the soccer stadium, lots by Gallagher and Kiewit Halls, the library lot, Burt Street lot, and anywhere after 4 p.m. because the faculty lots are opened
to students

Good Luck Getting a Parking Spot Here:
The new parking garages built in January 2006 during morning class hours

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.
