Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

St. Joe’s has recently started addressing the lack of parking available to students. The school has stopped letting sophomores apply for parking passes, which has freed up spots for upperclassmen who live off campus. There is also a new parking garage and a new parking lot behind the new buildings. While neighbors were initially very hostile to the students in the new buildings, the school provided more parking for students in the buildings’ lot so they wouldn’t have to park in front of people’s houses. The Maguire Campus will no doubt help to continue improving the parking situation.

While St. Joe’s is actively working to improve the parking situation, it is far from being done. It’s relatively impossible to show up to campus during the middle of the day and stumble upon a spot in the first lot you pull into. Security guards have recently started cracking down on un-decaled cars in lots. Students living in the new buildings, Merion Gardens, and townhouses have the advantage of their own parking lots. Parking around campus on the streets is safe during the day and somewhat easy to find. At night, parking on the street can be a little risky the farther you get from campus, but there is almost always free parking to be had day and night around campus.

Parking Is Limited but Always a Side Street to Park on

With the expanding enrollment and limited space for parking, parking can be very difficult during normal hours. However, there is plenty of space on side streets to park, but the campus will have to address this problem. Especially with the new freshmen who will find a way to get a parking pass

Not Bad

Official school parking is a waste because it is $250 for the semester and the lots are always full between the hours of 8am and 9pm. However, street parking is always abundant in the surrounding neighborhoods. I would definitely suggest a car because then you do not have to be fully reliant on the Septa R5 or a cab. It will open you up to the ability to see the whole city.

SJU Parking

You can't legally have a car if you are freshman or sophomore. If you are a freshman or sophomore and want a car you will have to find somewhere on a street to park it and that is usually unreliable or unsafe. When you are legally allowed to have a car at SJU you will have to buy a $300 parking pass in order to park it in a safe facility, otherwise you will have to continue to park on the street.
