Scripps College - Parking

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

A long time in the making, the Scripps parking garage has solved many of the school’s on-campus parking woes. Keeping a car used to be considered a nightmare, and it was not uncommon to see students leaving cars in obscure—and sometimes illegal—corners of campus. However, the administration took notice and constructed a parking garage in the space below the Field House. 

Besides solving the previous parking dilemma on campus, the garage may serve as incentive for students to bring cars to school, leading to more off-campus outings. Along with the existing spaces located near dorms and department buildings, the issue of parking does not look to be of future trouble to Scripps students.

Yes, freshmen can bring cars.... Yes, freshmen can bring cars. Parking can sometimes be bad depending on where you are. I think at Scripps itself, parking has become a lot easier with the underground parking lot at Tiernan Field House. 12345 Parking: March 10, 2009 Report
