Parking Permits

College Prowler Take
All students are allowed to have cars on campus with the purchase of a permit. That said, a parking permit does not guarantee you a parking space. Technically, there should be enough room for everyone to park, but with increasing enrollment and many on-campus events and athletic tournaments, the convenient parking lots fill up quickly. There is ample parking on the academic side of campus, which is great for commuters and faculty. Resident students wishing to park near their dorms, however, are usually out of luck. There are a few tiny parking lots near some the dorms, but the majority are on the outskirts of campus within about a five-minute walk to the dorms, which is a huge hassle when carrying heavy loads or when trekking up the hill in bad weather. Freshmen get the worst end of the deal because they can only park in North Lot, also known as the farthest point from campus civilization. Security is quick to ticket students for illegal parking, so don’t even think about making up your own parking spot, parking in a handicap or faculty spot, or parking in a loading area. If you must do one of the above, put on your flashers and do not leave the car there for more than five minutes—yes, security really is that fast when it comes to parking violations.

Freshman have to park in what is called the North Lot, which is at the academic side of campus. While this campus is pretty small in comparison to some, the distance is a bit of a nuisance, especially in the windy winter. Upperclassmen parking is convenient due to its proximity, but it is often difficult to find spots.

Parking on campus is pretty awesome. I think people complain every once in a while, but our campus is small enough that even the freshman lot is really not that far from the residence halls and academic buildings. Freshmen can bring a car, which was a great thing for me because I was able to travel home, which is about two hours from school, with ease and convenience. My friends and I also traveled into Baltimore more often because I had a car, and still do.

There is a lot of parking available—it's just not that convenient to the dorms. Freshmen can have cars, but they must park on the opposite end of campus from the residential buildings. However, security will provide escorts at night or during inclement weather from any parking lot to the student's dorm.

Parking on campus is a little hard, but there are always spots—they just might be far away from your room! People walk to class, and a lot of people just do not have cars.
