Parking
Due to the closure of the center of campus to most traffic, parking is somewhat harder to come by on campus, particularly between 9 A.M. and 2 P.M. on weekdays. We also don’t recommend trying to visit the department on the weekends that home football games are scheduled (a schedule can be found at this website).
