Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Might I recommend keeping $45 dollars handy at all times for the parking tickets you will inevitably receive? Sooner or later everyone ends up parking in a row reserved for faculty, or getting caught in a lot not allowed by your tag, or on the president’s lawn—you know, little things like that. I will admit that freshmen are usually the biggest problem for everyone else when it comes to finding spaces in decent lots. No freshman wants to be stuck parking in Taylor Lot (where they are always assigned) because it is as far from the freshman dorms as you can get. So people will sneak into more convenient lots, shutting out people who are tagged for spaces there, and the whole mess just perpetuates itself. The security guards must have developed a hawk eye for these lot trespassers, because tickets just fly off their pads and onto windshields. Thankfully, they do allow for appeals to citations, and they are not eager to drain what precious few funds we have available. If you live in the Row, good luck keeping a spot in the Tech Center Lot. While it isn’t impossible, someone always seems to come in right after you leave and take your space. Be careful not to drift into the faculty-only rows, too, or else you’ll have a nice paper addition to your wiper blades. I guess the free permits are offset by the ticket fines over the course of the year.

So-So

The great thing about this school is that all Freshmen are allowed to bring their cars to school -- the bad thing is that finding a space can sometimes be a challenge. If you're crafty, though, you'll find a spot.

Parking on Campus

I feel that having a car on campus is not exactly necessary, but it is definately a great convenience. There is not a lot to do within walking distance so its great to drive to other places, such as downtown Pittsburgh, to find something to do. A shuttle is provided to a shopping center during the week, but only for short periods of time so it's rather inconvenient. Parking is free which is great and availability of parking spaces is good, however, the parking lots themselves are not exactly in convenient locations.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Student parking permits are free. Priority is given to rising seniors, then juniors, then sophomores, and finally freshmen and commuting first-year students based on the order in which they are received. The College can deny any student a parking permit if they have a number of previous parking tickets or if they have any outstanding parking tickets. Permit applications are available online to upperclassmen from the Office of Protection Services. Permits assign a vehicle to a lot, not to a specific space.
