Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In 1999, the Warren Wilson Student Caucus made the decision to limit parking to the lots currently in place and to make no further plans to expand the parking. Because of this, parking stickers are limited, and freshmen are not permitted to have vehicles on campus. After your first year, a sticker costs $50 for the whole year, which is incidentally also the price of a ticket for parking without a permit. A decal allows you to park in all student lots on campus. Each lot is closest to a particular dorm complex, so cars are spread out according to where people live, and rarely do you have to walk too far to get to your car.

Many students choose not to bring a vehicle to campus for environmental or safety reasons and don’t find it particularly limiting. Most complaints about parking or transportation come from first-year students used to more conventional mobility and unused to carpooling or using a bus system. Eventually you come to understand why we’re okay with giving up a bit of convenience to preserve our beautiful campus.

Gotta Pay, but Plenty of Room

A year-long parking permit is a mere $50 and there is always room to park in the main parking lot by the dorms. Parking spots right next to your dorm is not always available, though.

If Parking Is Your Concern...You Might Be Looking in the Wrong Place

Warren Wilson is college composed of environmentally-minded individuals who, by-and-large do not own cars or keep them on campus. There are a few separate parking areas on campus, but it only seems to be a problem on weekends. There are few day-students, and all jobs and classes are within walking distance of anywhere on campus. Expect tickets if you park in non-parking zones. Freshmen are not allowed cars unless a case is made to the Dean of Students.
