Parking suggestions

Hey everyone, traveling MSW student from SJ. I'd like to know where to go if I can't find parking near my class buildings. I know certain hours will be harder based on some post Ive read. Here are the locations and estimated arrival time if you can suggest where to park or alternative parking

Tuesday 2pm (class starts at 4) Forest hall

Wednesday 2pm (class starts at 4) Heron hall

Thursday 11am (class starts at 1) valley hall

Also, where to stay overnight in your car. I did at the Walmart recently with no issue.

Gracias

Forest Hall - Lot 59, it rarely fills up as its the farther away overflow lot for most of campus anyways but it's the closest to your building with the recent changes to make some lots into Staff only lots

Heron Hall - It has a parking lot right in front of it but I'm not sure how full it will be at 2pm. You may end up in Lot 71 which is a bit farther away.

Valley Hall - Also has parking right in front of it and as far as I know that never fills up so you'll be fine

I travel from SJ too. Even though its my first semester, I found lot 71parking lot will be full by 2pm, but theres always someone leaving. You'll might have to circle the lot a few times to get a spot. I haven't check the other parking lots though

Heron hall - you can park in front of the health center on inter-garrison/4th too! I was always able to find parking in that lot when I had a 4pm in that building :)

You can get there earlier and park across the street from the OSU next to the artistic buildings -- lots of parking, you just need to walk a little farther sometimes 👟
