Check on whether or not you can GET a permit, and whether that actually gets you parking when you show up to campus. I knew one person that drove to school all year, and GW tore down the main garage this summer ... Not sure what that does to availability.pretzels wrote:Does anyone have any info on driving to school? I have heard there are garages, but that they are super expensive. However, I will be driving from about 15 minutes away in Arlington and the money I save on rent more than covers the cost of a parking permit.
Keep in mind that 66 from the Beltway in is HOV only during rush hrs. I'm sure that adds a huge chunk to your commute if you can only use the Memorial or Key bridges and surface streets.
