<p>For any current CMU students, I am wondering if CMU allows freshmen to park motorcycles on campus.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>By all accounts CMU's parking facilities are terrible; i.e. inadequately small. Freshmen are not allowed to have cars, since there aren't enough parking spaces. To be on the safe side I wouldn't bring any vehicle other than a bicycle. I'm not a current student, as you probably know, but I'm 80% sure about this.</p>
<p>Forget parking at CMU - it's a disaster. You will really not need a vehicle at all, though. Part of your student fee gives you totally free access to city bus system that runs right through campus 24/7. Also, the shuttle to the airport stops on campus (runs about 6am-11pm daily) and costs about $3.00 one way. Pitt/the museum area is well within walking distance, as are Shadyside (about 15 min.) and Squirrel Hill (about 30 min.).</p>
<p>What about bikes? Do they help? (I seem to recall there being a lot of hills in Pittsburgh)</p>
<p>Regarding bikes:
My S says that it really depends on were your housing is. There are a lot of hills in Pittsburgh. He says you won't need one because you'll end up using the bus all the time anyway.</p>
<p>I am just a big bike guy... If I can't have my Turbo, then at the very least I would like to have my bike there. Although I am still searching for private parking around the campus.</p>
