Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The ultimate nemesis of every commuter who attends Slippery Rock University is one ruthless little woman known to one and all as the “Ticket Nazi.” Don’t let her small stature and cheerful demeanor fool you—the merciless Ticket Nazi is armed with a “Cracker Jack” badge and a bad attitude. She zips around campus in her golf cart preying upon unsuspecting vehicles. Winter weather does not faze her—she simply clears a spot on icy, snowy windshields and leaves her mark. She is known to strike multiple times in one day, leaving a vibrant yellow blur behind. Multiple offenders may even have a fashionable yellow boot placed upon their car if they get on her bad side—as if she had a good one. The best medicine against a plague of tickets is to abide by the designated parking regulations.

As if battling the Ticket Nazi wasn’t enough, parking availability is a known atrocity campus-wide. Every morning, commuters duke it out for free spaces around campus. If you plan on commuting, it is recommended you leave early to be sure that you get to class on time. Students recommend walking, riding a bike, or taking the Happy Bus to class. SRU’s campus is designed for pedestrians, not motor vehicles. Resident parking is problematic as well, as respective lots are very distant from actual residence halls, which makes for long walks and tested patience. The upside of the issue is the fact that all students, even freshmen, are welcome to have their cars on campus. It’s highly recommended to get a pass—the Ticket Nazi will surely be watching.

Parking is completely fine

People like to complain when they can't come two minutes before class and waltz right to the door of their classroom. I always took the Happy Bus to class (for those who like to be dropped off right at the door), but I started parking on campus my senior year. First of all, the price is an extremely reasonable $25--most campuses are $100+. I parked all year without ever once not having to park anywhere else other than West Lake, and sometimes even in the PT lot (when I was going to Spotts). Parking is readily available, there is ALWAYS a spot available. If you know you're coming to campus at a peak time, plan ahead and get there a bit early.

Okay

Parking is okay. You only have to get to campus at least 10 minutes before class to get a decent spot. Any later than that and you'll be walking pretty far.

Best Parking Ever

I truely feel that the parking at SRU is the best. Literally there are a lot of parking spots that are extremely close to the classrooms on both sides of campus.
