Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Fordham has a high number of commuters, many of whom choose to drive to school every day. For them, the parking fees are inevitable, but they don't need to pay the hefty price some residents pay for 24-hour parking privileges. Anyone can get a parking pass: commuters, residents, freshmen, upperclassmen. Basically, any student willing to pay the fees will be allowed to keep their car in the garage. The garage is extremely spacious, and there are always plenty of spaces for students, faculty, and visitors.

If you don't have a parking pass because you don't normally park your car on campus or because you're a visitor, be prepared to pay the random fee amount of $11. The fee was raised from $10 to $11 in the fall of 2011, and annoyed students can't seem to find any good reason for the dollar increase; it doesn't seem necessary when Fordham makes so much money from regular parking fees and tuition itself.

Reasonable

If you pay for parking (which can be rather expensive, but relative to NYC prices pretty cheap)your car will be stored in a garage protected from harsh weather as well as possible theft. If you park off campus, you will be moving it frequently and risk break-ins.

Parking Can Be Difficult- but Not Impossible

There is a parking garage on campus, but many students complain about the expense of the permits to park there. On the neighboring streets, there are places to park one's car, but local neighborhood rules and norms need to be followed (moving it during street cleanings and avoiding owned spots).
