Parking
We regret that Yale University is unable to provide parking for visitors. We hope that the following suggestions will be helpful.
On street parking at meters is usually available. Most of the meters around the Office of Undergraduate Admissions take quarters and have two-hour limits. We try to arrange our information sessions and tours in such a way as to make it possible to "feed the meter" in between the session and the tour. Please note that there are areas around the Admissions office where the parking ends at 4 p.m. and that cars are often towed at that time as they obstruct rush hour traffic.
The following are locations of parking garages within walking distance of the Admissions Office:
• Trumbull Street between Orange Street and Whitney Avenue
• Audubon Street
• Grove Street between Orange Street and Whitney Avenue
• Wall Street between College Street and Temple Street
The above are the closest to our office but there are many other locations around town.
