Getting to Chapel Hill:
From Raleigh and points east:
From Greensboro and points west: [MAP]
From I-40, take Exit 273B heading to Chapel Hill. This will put you on
Highway 54. This road will bring you right onto the UNC campus. As you
climb the hill toward the stoplight, you will see a rock wall with a sign
saying UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, etc. Turn right onto Country Club
Drive. After crossing Raleigh Street, you will be on Cameron Avenue. On
Cameron, you may wish to use the visitor pay parking near Memorial Hall on
your left or near Swain Hall on your right. Otherwise, turn right on to
Columbia , cross Franklin Street, and turn right onto Rosemary to access
the town's public pay lots.
From I-40, take Exit 266 onto Highway 86. Turn right toward Chapel Hill.
As you come into town, this becomes Airport Road. As you cross Franklin
Street, it becomes Columbia. Turn left onto Cameron Avenue where you will
see visitor pay parking near Swain Hall on your left and near Memorial
Hall on your right. If both are full, you may wish to head back to Rosemary
Street (one block behind Franklin Street) to the town's public pay lots. From
Cameron Avenue, turn left on to Raleigh Street. Cross Franklin Street and
turn left onto Rosemary. The parking lots will be on your left.

Parking:
Parking on Saturday should be no problem. On Friday, however, it will be
more limited, as most parking spaces are by permit only. The closest
visitor pay parking lot is behind Memorial
Hall, accessible from Cameron Avenue, and across the courtyard from
Manning Hall or near
Swain Hall, also accessible from Cameron Avenue. Your
next best bet is parking in Chapel Hill Town lots
accessible from Rosemary Street, one block behind Franklin Street.
One more thing: You can expect typical Chapel Hill summer weather
