Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Parking Is Fine

Basically, Scripps has a huge parking garage underneath the field house, plus there are other places you can park on campus. I think it costs one set price to park per year, and it is pretty reasonable. I don't have a car, but still can walk or bike to several areas nearby. I would bring a car if I had one though, because it makes going to LA much easier (although metrolink, zipcar, buses, and scripps vans are very useful for this).

Okay Parking

There are not a lot of parking spots available. Luckily, the other campuses are fairly close so parking elsewhere and walking over is possible.

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.
