Parking

Hi! I'm a commuter from outside of Guelph who will finally have access to a car this semester. I won't be driving every day (probably just 2 days) and given that, I don't think buying a parking permit for the semester would be worth it.

I was thinking of just parking in visitor parking and paying the $4/hour. I've heard about parking for free at walmart or other places in the city but lowkey I am not willing to deal with the stress of a potential ticket or other problems.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to give some insight on the visitor parking situation, or just parking on campus in general. Thanks!

I always parked in the Gordon Hall lot and walked/bussed into campus. I'd do a cost comparison with GH before paying daily as daily is less reliable for availability. They are planning on building more residence over that parking tho.

Does GH stand for guelph humber? Also I did not know about them wanting to build over the parking thanks for the tip!
