Smith College-

1) No but some people get away with it by just parking on neighboring streets

2) Parking’s a HUGE hassle because it’s regulated by the town so you have to listen for two snow emergencies- one by the college and another by the town. When it does arise, everyone’s cars on the streets has to move down to the pasture near the stables which makes a hell walk back to the campus in snow. Only seniors get an actual decal, which costs $250 per semester I believe. Though parking is very difficult, it’s worth having a car in order to get out of the town because the buses can be really slow.

American University-

1. I don’t think so

2. Nope because you’re in the DC with great transportation system. Plus parking is $1,000 per semester. Yikes!

Colgate University:

1. Yup

2. Sometimes, mainly just to get home but overall, people don’t really need it. Free parking all around but there are limits where you can park depending on the color of you decal.
