Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Since the campus is so contained, parking really is not a problem. Even if you have to park on the other side of campus from where you live, you’re still within a mile of your dormitory. However, the likelihood of this happening is very slim. There are parking lots located near all the dorms, and while some spots are further away from others, the furthest are probably about 100 yards from your destination.

There are no meters, but a parking permit on your car is necessary. Students must park in student lots; if they park in faculty spots or guest parking, they will be ticketed. Last year, several cars were towed because they parked illegally, either in faculty spots, disabled spots, or in areas that weren’t parking spots. Before that, the most common punishment was a parking ticket, which ranged from $25 to $75, depending on the offense. Also be careful when parking in fire lanes or pulling up to a building, because even if you have your hazard lights on and are unloading your car, you will be ticketed. The only time it might be hard to find a parking spot is when there is an event going on, such as a day for prospective students or a football game. But because there are parking permits, there aren’t more vehicles than there are spots, so parking spots are always available, even if they are not that close to the student’s building.

Cheap Parking

Parking permits are only $20 for the year and there is always parking. The only downside is that freshman have somewhat of a hike to get to their cars, but theres parking for upperclassmen everywhere. Another annoying thing is that the do like to ticket on campus. If you are parked in a spot you are not allowed in, you most likely will get ticketed even if you park there for a short amount of time.

Fairly Good Parking

I would say the parking available to students varies depending on your year. Of course freshman parking is far away from the dorms and ends up being in a lot that is not even part of campus (or at least it was last year). The lot had plenty of room, but getting a space close was difficult. For the parking for upper classmen, it is very well mapped out. There is plenty of room for all the students and the lots are generally very close to the dorms for upperclass men. Public safety does crack down on the people parked in the wrong spots, sometimes even when you are parked outide the campus center just to run in and go to the bathroom! However, that's their job, I understand. It's just difficult to find a parking spot near the campus center for two seconds while you run in and are right back out again.

Parking Is Limited and a Good Distance Especially for Freshmans

Parking can be an issue unless you don't mind walking.
