Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You can always find a close parking place at Furman, but in most cases, you are not allowed to park there. Students are only allowed to park in their reserved lot, and most other spaces are either reserved or 15-minute parking. Although most buildings on campus are about a 10-minute walk, many students still wish they could drive to class. Overall, students are able to keep a positive outlook on the parking situation, citing that the small size of Furman’s campus makes it an easy place to get around on foot. Furman has also improved parking somewhat by repaving and enlarging parking lots.

Parking at Furman is probably better than most large universities. Every student is able to get a parking permit, and most students have a car. Having a parking space right outside your door is one of the nicest perks of living in the apartments. However, parking restrictions seem to tighten every year. The University removed almost all of the parking outside the library, and they decided to prohibit students from driving their cars to class during the day. What’s even more frustrating is Public Safety’s unwavering dedication to the enforcement of these policies by way of profuse ticketing.

Alright

The parking is kinda limited and you have to park a bit away from where you live in most areas but it's not completely horrible.

Beware, Campus Police!

Cars are definitely very useful to have, nothing worthwhile is in walking distance of campus. Permits cost $100 for the year, although will likely be 200 if you take into consideration the parking tickets. Fu-Po is on a power-trip. This is a college campus, kids don't have a lot of spare money lying around yet they give out tickets like chocolate in a candy store. Parking spaces are available but if your not supposed to park there, beware! Due to some overassigning lots some are more crowded than others. Parking is cut throat.
