Parking (pdf)
about parking: you will need to purchase a parking permit at the kiosk at the base of campus ($5.50 per weekday, Saturday $2 or free, depending on lot). After visiting the kiosk, you will need to turn around, exit campus, turning right on High Street, and then turn right again to enter campus at the West Entrance. The best parking lots for Porter are 124 and 125. The best parking lot for Baskin Arts is 126. It is possible to walk between the two locations, but the walk involves stairs and hills.
We have an interactive map of the campus located at:
