Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Some say the answer to all of SLC’s parking problems arrived with the construction of Kober parking lot, a two-story cement structure located on the far corner of campus. In addition to providing dozens of spaces for student cars, Kober is weather-protected and monitored with security cameras. Hence, if you’re willing to pay, keeping a car on campus is easy. Students who keep cars do complain that the walk from main campus to Kober can be strenuous (especially if you’re lugging an armload of books). Additionally, because Kober is isolated from main campus, it has been occasionally preyed upon by thieves, and it’s a good idea to park under a lamp near the entrance and to not leave your valuables in plain sight.

Parking anywhere else on campus will give you a headache, especially when you’re moving in and out of your dorm and need to park as close to your building as possible. Your best bet is to make the move early in the morning or late at night. Overall, cars aren’t necessary, and not many students have them on campus. Anything you might need to buy is within walking distance, and if by some chance it isn’t, then the train to NYC is just around the corner.

Always a Spot

There's always somewhere to park close enough to where you're going. You don't need a car on campus at all because you can just call the main desk and the shuttle will pick you up anywhere, anytime for free 24/7. That's a nice thing in the winter. Permit costs are cheaper than they were in my high school.

Parking's Not an Issue.

Cars aren't a necessity at SLC. The Metro North train station (the train to Manhattan) as well as the town are within walking distance. There are also vans that drive to and from the train station. I have a few friends who have cars on campus, and parking permits aren't too costly. Fines are pretty steep, but mostly when a car isn't moved when snow plowing needs to be done in the winter.

Okay Parking

There are pretty good parking facilities at Sarah Lawrence, but some of them are about ten minutes away from main campus. However, the proximity of the Metro North train line makes it unnecessary to own a car, at least to get into Manhattan.
