At Clark we understand that traveling to campus may be financially difficult. We have compiled a list of companies that offer discounts to students traveling to visit college campus.
Amtrak is pleased to offer the Campus Visit Discount. This discount allows high school juniors and seniors visiting a college campus to take one parent or guardian along as a free companion.
Admissions Visitor Parking is available in the Maywood Street Parking Lot. However, if this if full, you can try the Downing Street Parking Garage (#42 on the Campus Map) next to the Kneller Athletic Center. Enter and exit on Downing Street only. (Printable map in PDF showing how to get from Parking Garage to Admissions Office.) Spaces may be available in the outdoor lot on Downing Street (behind #21 on the Campus Map). Some street parking is permitted but please check carefully for parking restrictions.
All cars parked in Clark University Parking Areas are required to have a permit. If you are an Admissions visitor, you can pick up a permit at the Admissions Office at 3 Maywood Street. If you are not an Admissions visitor, please contact the office you are planning to visit to find out where you should park.
