<p>Have you ever visited Harvard? Yale? Columbia? They make Penn look like Parking Heaven by comparison. Penn actually has lots, and reasonably abundant street parking. Parking around Harvard is a nightmare. And you don’t even want to think about Oxford, Cambridge, Sciences Po, ENS . . . </p>
<p>You know what schools have great parking? Schools that aren’t in the middle of cities. Princeton, Dartmouth, and Cornell. Stanford – Stanford has amazing parking. And of course schools that are commuter schools.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that parking is not an element of academic quality.</p>
