Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students are generally disappointed with the lack of parking on or near campus. Resident students have one garage from which to choose: the San Martin Garage. Parking permits are pretty expensive, too, at $400 per semester. Anyone who chooses to bring a car will need to plan to spend time feeding meters, moving their cars from no parking zones, and finding a spot. 

It is not necessary to have a car to get around campus, so once students find parking spots, they keep them until they need to drive somewhere else in the city. If you’re flexible about where you park, you’ll find parking, even if it isn’t near where you want to go. The best option for parking would be to get an "Area 12" parking permit. This works well for juniors and seniors because they typically live off campus and in apartment buildings or rowhouses. Not getting the pass puts you at risk for several parking tickets.

Don't Even.

The only students who bring cars are the super preppy East Coast-ers who live within a couple hours of campus. They get to deal with the wonders of parallel parking on a college campus while the rest of the student population gets off relatively well without a car. The public transportation in Baltimore may not be the best, but if you need to get somewhere you can plan it.

No One Brings Their Car

Because Baltimore is a small city, with sub-par parking and a number of car break-ins, no one brings their car. It is very easy to get around without one.

Awful Parking

Parking around campus is really terrible. It's tough to park on the streets of Baltimore and it isn't really necessary to have a car during your four years at Hopkins.
