Attention Law students: Parking and Recreation news

Parking

For the 2006-2007 academic year, the Elon University School of Law will make available to its students free parking approximately three blocks from the law school at the corner of Friendly Avenue and Church Street. (This free parking arrangement may not be available in future years.) Students wishing to park closer to the law school will have access to public parking decks, one of which is directly across the street from the law school. Students opting for the parking deck are responsible for the monthly rate of $50, bringing their projected parking fees to approximately $250 per semester. Students may also choose to arrange for parking in various private parking lots in the area. They might also choose to utilize Greensboro’s public transportation system.

Recreation

The law school is collaborating with the Kathleen Price Bryan Family YMCA, which is located just a few blocks from the law school at 501 West Market Street. During the 2006-2007 academic year, the law school will provide each student with a membership at the YMCA at no additional cost. Students may also purchase family memberships at a discounted rate. The law school understands the importance of physical fitness and exercise and is very excited to provide this benefit to its students. The YMCA includes a large fitness center, two swimming pools, basketball courts and a running track. Visit the YMCA’s web site at http://www.bryanymca.org/.

Students may also choose to join one of several other fitness facilities that are located downtown and throughout Greensboro. Greensboro and Guilford County offer numerous public recreational facilities, including tennis courts and extensive greenways and parks, an excellent resource for walking or jogging enthusiasts.

Law students may also utilize fitness facilities and take advantage of recreation opportunities on the Elon University home campus. Visit the Elon University Campus Recreation web site at http://www.elon.edu/e-web/students/campus_recreation/default.xhtml
