Parking at Waterloo

Parking on campus can be a challenge for students, staff, and visitors. The university has a few options for parking, including surface lots, underground parking garages, and metered street parking. Surface lots are the most affordable option, but they fill up quickly during the day. Garage parking is more expensive, but it is more likely to have spaces available. Street parking is the most expensive option, but it is also the most convenient. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a parking option. First, consider how long you will be on campus. If you only need to park for a short time, surface or street parking may be your best option. Garage parking may be your best bet if you are on campus all day. Second, consider your budget. Surface lots or street parking may be your best option if you are on a budget. If you have a little extra room in your budget, garage parking may be worth the investment. Third, consider your convenience. If you need to be able to come and go from your car throughout the day, street parking may be your best bet. If you can afford to leave your car on campus all day, surface lot or garage parking may be more convenient.
