Parking on campus

  • Park at lot 2 (also called P2).  It is at the corner of Hilgard Ave and Westholme Ave. It costs $12/day.  You can just drive into the lot, find any pay space (there are colored green lights indicating free spots) and then pay using a machine where you put in the license plate number and your credit card.  Then it is a very short walk to the faculty center (map).
