Bus Parking
Unfortunately, the University Policy states that we cannot accommodate any parked buses on campus. Oftentimes, the bus/shuttle drivers know of areas to park. Buses/shuttles are more than welcome to drive along Palm Drive (the entrance of campus) and drop off at the roundabout (in front of Abby Sobrato Mall). Once dropped off, we recommend buses park along Campbell Ave. (across from the University Villas; building #1260) where there is a long stretch of street parking available.
Below is a map for visual reference:
Campbell Ave.
For emergency safety reasons, buses may only return when they have had communication that guests are physically waiting for pick up at the roundabout.
