– John Cage

Parking
There is both on-street parking and several car parks in our immediate vicinity. The New School also has an agreement with Park Rite car parks that allows all currently enrolled students, parents and faculty to avail of special student discount rates of €2.50/hour until 4.30 pm, €3/hour after 4.30 pm or €10/day at any of their Dublin car parks. (The normal street parking rate in Dublin city centre is €3.50 per hour for a maximum of 3 hours.) The closest Park Rite car park is on Drury Street, a two-minute walk to/from the school. To avail of these discounts, simply drop by the school office with your parking ticket, which we will stamp for you, and show it to the car park attendant.
Public Transport
Both because of our central location and to travel to and from the New School in a more environmentally sustainable way, we encourage students to use public transport.
