Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Worried about gaining the famous "Freshman 15" from all the greasy cafeteria food and late night snacks? Never fear! The trek to your car in Siberia parking lot will keep you slim. Parking there is a little inconvenient in the middle of the night when the temperature is below freezing, but Hollins women are much better off than students at larger campuses. Really, the walk from Siberia lot to the dorms is only five to eight minutes long, depending on where you live, and everyone gets used to it after a while.

One thing students can't seem to get used to are the parking regulations. At the beginning of the year, you will hand $50 to the woman behind the desk at the campus security office, and she will hand you a parking permit, complete with all the rules about where and where not to park. Read this pamphlet! The campus police don't see much action at Hollins, so they release their crime-fighting urges by throwing parking tickets around like confetti. Parking tickets usually cost $25 or $50, depending on what you do wrong, but they add up quickly.

Oh Siberia

Why must the parking lot be all the way out past the dorms? Pain in the behind with guests, and worse in the winter, with the cold.

Picky Parking

there is a lot of parking available but you must park in in the lot your parking pass is good for. Freshman park in "Siberia" which is often made to seem worse than it is. Its only like a 5 min walk from an off the freshman dorms.

Getting a Parking Permit

Getting a parking permit is easy. Go to the security office, and fill out a short form—make sure you know your license plate number. The permit costs $50, but you can charge it to your Hollins account and pay for it later.

Did You Know? The Moody Lot is reserved for faculty and staff Monday–Friday 7 a.m.–4:30 p.m, but at night and on the weekends, students may park there.
