Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Decent parking is in pretty short supply on Dartmouth’s campus. Barring special dispensations, most undergrads are required to park their cars in A-lot—a spacious, off-site lot that is about a mile walk from the center of campus. Some circumvent this inconvenience by parking at their fraternity or sorority, and occasionally Greek houses will rent spaces to nonmembers for a premium.

Metered parking around campus is expensive and monitored closely. There seems to be a consensus among Dartmouth undergrads that the College really should invest in better parking facilities for its students. While the Dartmouth community is pretty self-contained, it can also be confining—there’s a measure of freedom in knowing that you can get in your car and get away should the urge arise.

Kinda Sucks

The student parking lot, A-Lot, is really inconvenient. It is nice to have a car though. Hanover is small, and I enjoy going to restaurants in different towns.

It Can Be Done

A car is a really handy thing to have, as the public transit in the area leaves something to be desired—and Hanover can be sort of an isolating place. The parking lots are not particularly convenient, though Greek houses have spaces available both for members and renting to non-members.
