Scripps College
- Parking

Easy Parking

Permit Costs are only, I think, $100 per semester. Much cheaper than a lot of state schools. Most who have cars and are able to drive them down to California, keep them on campus. There is enough parking for everyone with a car. Parking fines by Campus Security are not really paid much attention too because they are not 'real' parking tickets.

Awful Parking

there is very little parking around campus and the parks are very close and small, as well as often in ackward positions. the parking structure helps but has odd hours that are often unhelpful. life is easier with a car but the school does not make it easy to have one

Accessible If You Need It

In 3 years, I've never owned a car on campus (though intend to bring one for my last year just because I can), but the parking garage always has empty spots, so parking is not at all a hassle. You must have a Scripps permit, which, as of now, costs $100 per year. That said, a student can get by without owning a car, but having a friend who owns one is a luxury, as some places are just only accessible by car. Students are able to rent vans from Scripps for a $20 deposit or rent a Zip Car, but it is much more convenient to have your own or a friend's car if you intend to leave campus often.
