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.

Parking at UNH

There are tons of different parking areas. You don't necessarily need a car here, because the whole town is essentially the campus.

There is a winter parking ban where it is difficult to find a parking lot that allows you to park in the winter. I have heard many people complain about parking tickets

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.

Winter Parking Ban
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.
