Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As the freshman class increases each year, parking becomes more of an issue since Rhodes does not currently have plans to add another lot. The freshmen are only allowed to park in their own lot, which isn't too far from the dorms, unless you live in Bellingrath or Glassell, which are on the other side of campus. Students do complain that parking isn't the most convenient since spaces are rather far away from most major buildings on campus. Still, the problems are minimal, especially compared to those of a bigger school.

Not only are all students allowed to bring a car, but also, since the campus is so small, there isn't even a huge need to drive from class to class unless you're feeling extremely lazy. There aren't parking lots that are miles from the dorm rooms or ridiculous fines or parking decal expenses, either, and students feel pretty secure that their car won't get broken into if it's parked on campus (the same cannot always be said for those who decide to park on the street outside the gates, though).

Parking, a Plus

Rhodes shines when it comes to parking your car. You do not have to worry about your car being damaged or stolen on this campus. The entire campus is gated and under surveillance with campus safety officers patrolling the campus at all times. There are plenty of places to park if you're a resident. Freshmen are confined to one lot, which works well because it keeps most of the other lots clear. Parking gets a little tight during the daytime, but if you live on campus and use your car very little, it's not such a terrible problem.

Good Spots Go Fast

It's pretty easy to find a parking spot somewhere, it just may not be as close to your destination as you would prefer. This isn't saying much though since it only takes like 8 minutes to walk the length of the campus

Parking is free. Really big freshman lot. You kind of need a car if you're going anywhere off campus. I've never had a problem with parking.
