Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus entrances are marked with bright yellow signs that read “WELCOME,” but that sentiment is almost refuted by another line: “PARKING IS BY PERMIT ONLY.” ECU is, however, primarily a pedestrian campus, and the Student Transit Authority is efficient enough to get students where they need to go. It is not really necessary for freshmen to even bring cars. The freshman lot is so far away from campus that freshmen who use Student Transit or meet upperclassmen with cars probably will not need to go to the freshman lot until they leave for break. During breaks, students can carpool with someone from their region by posting a card on the travel board in the basement of Mendenhall, or more efficiently, by posting on the Banner forums or on
www.partyeastcarolina.com. Parking and Transportation Services is perhaps the least popular office at ECU, and their white vehicles with green police-style lights on top are annoying, if not terrifying. The no-nonsense officers are dreaded by anyone who has committed even the slightest parking infraction. Many students complain about ECU parking, but for those students who look online and make the effort to know which lot is which, which permits allow them to park where, and which permit they are eligible to buy, parking will never become a huge issue.

Parking at East Carolina University

Parking

There are many buses that go from the popular apartment complexes to campus. That is a plus if you live in those apartments. If not, a C pass is bought that ranges around $120. They run every 5-10 minutes, which is convenient. If you are a freshman, you get your own parking lot, the worst one.

East Carolina Parking

There are plenty of spaces to park at and usually an available spot during the busy hours of the day. The only nightmare is the cost of permits and tickets if one decides to park without a permit. Luckily students can take the campus bus around.

Alright

The parking at school isn't so bad. It depends on where you are living on campus. If you are a freshman, life sucks.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Parking at ECU is by permit only, and vehicle registration is required. Registration, which is easier the earlier students try it, can be done in person or online through Banner. Valid permits must be displayed on all vehicles on campus, or the Parking and Transportation officers, in white cars with green lights on top, will issue tickets.
