Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Even if you can survive the manners of crazed Boston drivers, good luck finding a parking spot. Simmons’s small size becomes a disadvantage when trying to find parking. Faculty and staff are offered parking, but there is no on-campus parking for students. Resident students are not allowed to park on the Residence Campus or at the Main Campus Building.

During the winter—the one time you would really want a spot—parking becomes more difficult or even prohibited. It is not rare to see a car completely covered with snow after a plow has just moved through the streets. Good luck digging that out. Visitors to the Residence Campus often park along the meters on Boylston. Make sure you’ve stocked up on quarters to feed the meters, and make sure they are working. Many overnight guests find themselves with the unpleasant surprise of an electric orange parking ticket. The parking officers have no sympathy when writing a ticket.

Don't Own a Car

I do not park on campus, because Simmons College is located in the middle of Boston, therefore I do not need a car.

No Car Needed

The T and the bus are excellent options for commuting. While I have a car myself, I don't use it to get to school as public transportation is cheaper and just as fast. If I do need to drive in, for whatever reason, I can park for a reasonable cost.

Simmons College encourages students to take public transportation whenever possible. Parking on campus is very limited, however there are many other parking garages nearby.
