Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking at Davidson is not a problem. Students agree that you might not always be able to get your favorite spot, especially when the campus is really bustling during the week, but you can always find one a reasonable distance away. One thing’s for sure: The parking situation is 10 times better at Davidson than at larger universities in the area (UNC, NC State), and those schools don’t even offer parking for their freshmen.

For a school that allows all students to have cars beginning freshman year, Davidson does an impressive job providing more than enough parking. Lots are spread out across campus, assuring that students can park conveniently, regardless of where they live. While spots right outside your door might be hard to come by, they do exist. Also, there is overflow parking in the Satellite lot and Baker Sports Complex lot, so there is always somewhere to leave your car. Regardless of where you park or where you live, you won’t be walking more than 10 minutes back to your destination.

Good Parking

Most students live on campus so there isn't really that much parking around the academic buildings. The parking near the dorms and apartments on campus is great. You can almost always find a convenient parking spot, within 3 min of where you want to go.

Not Enough Spaces

There aren't a lot of parking spaces. There are a good amount of faculty spaces that don't get used though. If you want to go to the grocery store, walmart, or get off-campus at all you need a car.
