Some notes about parking

 

Parking at Stanford is rarely simple. We strongly suggest you come early. If you arrive before 8 a.m., it’s likely you can find parking in the lot near Tresidder. That’s the best option. You can then pay $12 to the machine, and you’re done! The later you arrive, the less likely you’ll find parking in the Tresidder lot. We’ll have coffee and some limited snacks ready at 8 a.m. and, best of all, you can start meeting people. So come early, if you can.

 

If you drive to the Tresidder lot and find it is full, we suggest you go directly to Parking Structure #5 and not waste time hoping to find a spot. The parking structure is a 5-minute drive. One you park there, you have about a 20-minute walk to Tresidder. You can also take the Stanford shuttle to Tresidder, which will take 20 to 25 minutes, depending on if you get lucky with the shuttle schedule.
