If you’re driving and are having trouble finding somewhere to park, there’s a parking lot on North Campus, which is right behind the Pageant. It almost always has spots because few non-Wash. U. people know to park there.

A female student from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University was robbed early Thursday evening in the parking lot behind Cicero’s on the Delmar Loop. She was not injured, a police report released by the Washington University Police Department said. The victim reported being approached by two suspects at around 6:30 p.m.
