Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

One major strength in Princeton’s parking program is that it is possible to walk nearly everywhere on campus, so parking is a non-issue. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and small groceries within walking distance of the dorms. For independent students who need a wider selection of food, the Undergraduate Student Government has organized a free grocery delivery service. When students need to go off-campus, there are plenty of shuttle buses between the dorms and parking lots throughout the day.

It is possible to walk everywhere in the town of Princeton. For those who are not so energetic to walk to distant parking lots to pick up their cars, a campus shuttle runs throughout campus. While the shuttle bus runs regularly through most of the day, the parking lots are far from campus security booths. The lots all have lights and campus security blue phones, but they can be intimidating during certain times of day. That said, crime in the parking lots is rare, but it would be a good idea to carry a cell phone at the very least.

Parking

There is no real need for a car on campus, but people have them. The student parking lot is a bit of a hike, and when people avoid that by parking somewhere on campus or in the faculty lot it's very easy to get ticketed. The fines are not high, but high enough to be annoying. Some students are able to get parking spots in the lots at their eating clubs, which is more convenient.

Parking? What Parking?

There is no parking on campus. At all.

The nearest parking lot is usually crowded, and several blocks away from the rest of campus. If you need to get around in a hurry, bring your bike.

And underclassmen can't even live off campus or have cars, so that kind of tells you what it's like.
