Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking spots are numerous and relatively close to dorm rooms. When students moan about parking in the back row of “Siberia,” they rarely have even a 10-minute walk back to their dorms—inconvenient, but not impossible. The gravel lots, nicknamed “Siberia” and “Purgatory,” have ample spots for student vehicles.

Favorite gripes are the $125 parking permit fee and poor parking-lot maintenance. During the icy months, Grovers might find themselves wishing for thick boots and a sturdy shovel. Best times to catch a good parking spot are early Friday evenings or Sunday mornings, when much of the campus is at church.

Parking Lots Called "Siberia" and "Purgatory"

Parking is often far away from dorm buildings except when very lucky. Students must pay to have a car on campus, but freshmen are not allowed without special permission. A car is needed for most shopping off campus, so it can be inconvenient to not have a car or a friend with a car.

Some Limitations

Freshmen are not allowed to have a car on campus. Parking availability for upperclassmen is somewhat limited and generally involves a lot of walking. On the other hand, there is very little need for a car due to how much is within walking distance of campus.

Parking

It is always hard to find parking spots on campus.

For everyone who lives on campus it is not a problem to make it to class on time; commuter parking is good.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Parking permits must be obtained from the campus safety office. They designate you as a commuter student, resident student, or visitor, and where you may park depends on this status. Visitors may park wherever they want for a maximum of three days. Commuters have a number of special slots allocated to the them in the parking lot adjoining the Physical Learning center. Resident students get whatever is left.

Did You Know? Individuals receiving 10 or more parking tickets will be assessed a $100 excess violation fee. Accumulating 13 or more parking tickets may result in forfeiting the privilege of parking a vehicle on campus.
