Hanover College - Parking

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Hanover considers the campus to be pedestrian, meaning the campus was built to accommodate walking rather than driving. This creates a sense of community between students because everyone is interacting between classes. On-campus housing is only a five- to ten-minute walk from the farthest classroom, so students never have to walk very far. At the beginning of the school year, students must register their vehicles by filling out a form at the security office in Lynn Gym. Students are given a sticker to go on the front windshield of their cars, making them recognizable to security.

Parking outside residence halls and houses is typically not a problem, but parking is very limited by the classrooms because the College promotes walking. Bicycles are popular on campus, and there are bike racks outside almost every building here. The Student Senate has implemented community bikes at Hanover, which are recognizable by their orange spray-painted bar. These bikes do not belong to anyone, but all students are free to use them around campus and leave them at any of the bike racks. Most people don’t lock up their bikes on campus, but if you don’t, your bike may go missing for a few days. Typically nothing is ever stolen on campus, but bikes are sometimes borrowed and then left at another classroom or dormitory.

There is an ample amount of parking, and I have never had much trouble with the exception of the 15 parking violations I had sophomore year. You will find a place to park, but it just may not be a hop, skip, and a jump from your front door. 12345 Parking Report

Parking is not a huge problem on this campus mainly because it is so small and most students walk to class everyday. When the weather is poor and students decide they would rather not brave the Indiana weather, many tickets are given out by campus security due to lack of available spots. 12345 Parking Report
