Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking is one of UNH’s major problems that could use the administration’s attention. Students and faculty have fought over ticket and permit prices, and even plans for a new parking garage. Many students without parking permits have often had to take the trip to the impound and pay just to get it back. Although it is unclear what the future will hold, the present situation leaves much to be desired. Students who manage to get a permit have to get to school early (around 7:30 a.m.) in order to get a parking spot within walking distance. After that, parking spots are only left in the West Edge lot—which is a two-minute bus ride from campus.

Although getting close to campus is hard, finding a spot isn’t. There is always a spot somewhere, whether in West Edge or not. During the weekends, students can park in any lot on campus, but during the winter weekends, a parking ban cancels out this privilege.

Time Limits

There is parking if needed. The time limits are short though. Like overnight parking you need to move your car or feed the meter bright and early!

UNH Parking

Parking at UNH can be a little difficult depending on the time of day. As a commuter there are only a few parking lots to park in such as A Lot and West Edge but there are not many spaces available for everyone. If you can't find a place in A Lot you'll have to Park at West Edge and you would need to take the bus to get to campus. Make sure not to park anywhere besides the designated parking areas or else you will get a ticket. Also, beware the Winter Parking Ban.

Awful Parking

Parking is hard and many people always get tickets. They are trying to work on it though.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

If you're a freshman, then don't try parking on campus at UNH, it's as simple as that. You are not allowed to have a car on campus, and it is hard to talk the school into letting you have one. For upperclassmen, getting a permit is not hard if you register early and are content with what you get. The worst parking lot is West Edge, but that is only because it is about a mile off campus.

Did You Know? After the first declared snow emergency in November or December, the University prohibits parking in most campus parking lots between the hours of 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. This is so the lots can be plowed efficiently before classes begin for the day. There are some lots which are exempt from this rule, though. Check out www.unh.edu/transportation/programs/wpb/index.htm for more info.
