Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Opinions vary when it comes to parking, but comparatively speaking, Truman students have it good, and you’ll probably find a spot somewhere. While it may be irritating to walk five minutes in the biting cold, the campus is not that big. Good luck parking in front of your dorm, although a few individuals seem to have a knack for knowing just when someone will pull out. Parking decals come in a rainbow of colors—green for campus residents, blue for commuters and off-campus residents, and red for staff and faculty members. Double-check the sign in the lots before you grab a spot, especially if it looks half-empty on a weekday. Chances are, it’s reserved for somebody else.

Getting caught parking without the proper decal can get expensive, so even if you think you’ll park on residential streets most of the time, it’s worth it to pay the $50 for a parking permit. Plus, with very little real crime, campus officers have a lot of free time to make the parking lot rounds. If you circle campus a few times and come up empty-handed, parking on an adjoining street is safe and free. However, people will always complain, and there’s no harm in joining in the chorus of groans from time to time. And if it turns out that you’re one of the few with great timing, gloat a little.

Quickly Filled Lots

There is a lot of parking around the campus as well as on campus. However During the week, if you leave during the day it may be difficult to find a spot where you want one.

Parking Sucks

The lots have recently been repaved but there's usually potholes galore. If you move your car it is unlikely to get a spot when you return.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Every undergraduate student can apply for a parking decal, and the price is a reasonable $50 per academic year. You can usually find a parking spot somewhere on campus, but it’s unlikely to be where you want it. But don’t try to park in a red lot, which are reserved for faculty and staff, with a green resident student sticker.
