Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Lack of adequate parking is one of the major gripes heard around campus. Most of the lots rest atop a large hill overlooking the layout of the campus, and unless you’re lucky enough to grab a spot in one of the coveted lower lots such as R-1, it’s going to be a long hike to wherever you’re trying to go. Parking tickets and fines at and around Xavier are as steep as the hill on R-2, ranging from $20 to $50! However, the parking is well organized, with designated lots for residents and commuters and corresponding stickers that ensure everyone parks where they’re supposed to.

Luckily, even if you park your car what seems like light-years away from where you need to be, the campus police will make sure it’s safe. Positioning patrol cars in the parking lots after dark, the police make their presence felt to thwart any would-be window-smashing stereo thieves. There are also cameras near all of the on-campus lots, making it even harder for such vandals to ruin your day.

Parking at XU

Parking is available for any student who would like to park their vehicle at xavier for the year. The cost is $100. It is even cheaper than my high school. The parking is not that far a way. Also, your spot in the lot is not assigned. It is based on a first come first serve basis.

Somewhat Decent

The parking situation on campus is not very bad. The police are very nice when it comes to parking fines, they are lenient and willing to compromise.

Having a Car

Parking is available and having a car is a benefit. You can get by without having a car, but it's nice to get off campus. The only drawback to on-campus living and parking is that the parking is far away from the dorms. It's not fun walking to the car in the snow. Parking permits cost $100 for the entire year.
