Can freshmen bring cars to campus?
While freshman are permitted to bring their vehicles to campus, it is strongly discouraged. Parking is both limited and expensive, about $650 per year. Fortunately, there are a variety of other ways to get to campus and around the Seattle area. In fact, more people in Seattle commute to work via bicycle than any other city in the United States – due to 30 miles of bike-pedestrian trails, 90 miles of signed bike routes and 16 miles of bike lanes on city streets. The University also offers a special benefit to students called a U-PASS. The U-PASS is a great way for someone to travel around the city, while helping to reduce traffic congestion and protect the environment.
