Getting a Parking Permit
Freshmen and sophomores aren't allowed to have cars on campus, but Villanova grants exceptions pretty readily with a note from an employer or a doctor. However, parking is pretty crowded already at Villanova and having a car isn't really a necessity although it's certainly nice to have one. It's still a pain if you live in St. Mary's to have a car because there's no student parking in front of the building and you have to park on main lot, which is a walk.
Did You Know?
- While there is no requirement to pay tickets on campus, if you go to the school, you could be withheld from graduation if you do not pay your parking fines.
- If you park without a permit or in a non-parking zone, you run the risk of having a nice bright orange wheel lock added to the décor of your car.
