Yes, there is parking on both the quad (front of the building) and street (back of the building). There shouldn't be too many problems getting a spot at that hour, I believe. (I live on campus, so I'm not certain how hard it is to get a spot). - Christian Roy On 4/11/07, Tal Cohen <wlug(a)cohen123.com> wrote: > > Doh!
