PICKUP AND DROP-OFF INSTRUCTIONS
During the busy morning rush, we kindly suggest finding a spot just a little further from campus for dropping off your guests. If they’re able, a short walk from there can be a great option! We also ask that you avoid stopping on Oak Street.
For pickups, it’s easiest to arrange to meet about a block away, if you can. It helps keep things running smoothly for everyone. Thanks so much for your understanding!
