Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are numerous (probably too many) parking decks on campus. Police and the Parking Department are very hard on parking tickets and are also quick to tow, so one must always have a parking tag (roughly $330), and not park illegally, lest they want to take a 30-minute car ride to pay S&W Towing. If you obey the rules, parking is easy here. There are various types of parking passes, each one allowing parking at one specific deck or area.

Paid parking is also usually available during the day, though not always in a convenient location. Freshmen are not allowed to have a car, although no one really checks to see if they do. If you want one as a freshman, and you also want to park it on campus, you will need an upperclassman without a car to purchase you a pass. This process is usually not that hard, but it can be time-consuming finding someone. Once you do have a car on campus, be very careful about where you park, and don’t chance it unless you feel you have to. Emory can be very unfair about ticketing and towing. Supposedly, if you make friends with the women who work in the parking office, you can get some of your tickets erased, but nothing comes for free.

Pricey

Parking on Emory's campus is relatively pricey. Be prepared to spend a bit of money for a parking pass if you are bringing a car to campus. A lot of upperclassmen will have a car considering this is the easiest way to get around Atlanta, particularly if looking to avoid MARTA. However, plenty of places to park in the parking decks - you will be assigned one deck to park in during registration but all decks are open and available to park in anytime after 4pm until the early morning.

SO Expensive!

Emory University is very environmentally green. Thus the price of parking is so expensive, so people are more likely to use the free shuttles. There isn't enough parking space especially because of the hospital and clinics on campus. Employees end up taking a large portion of the parking spaces and freshman can't have cars.
