  • Yes! There are about 35–40 spots, so parking is a little limited. We recommend rideshares if you can — that way, we save spots for anyone who really needs a car. Most of us are from the same area and know each other, so it shouldn’t be a problem… just think of it as an excuse to carpool and catch up on the way!

  • We’ve shared a Google Maps link on the main page that will guide you the easiest way from your location. There’s also a metro just 15 minutes away, plus Uber and rideshares that can whisk you wherever you need to go.
