Directions, Drop Off/Pick Up and Parking Information at 5/3 Arena at the University of Cincinnati.
Instructions for Dropping off and Picking Up Students: MAP
We encourage students to have someone drive them to and from this event as your student will be tired from being active and having fun all night. We also encourage you to carpool as much as possible to reduce the amount of traffic, as there will be 1000 students and 300 volunteers coming to the arena at once.
For the Drop Off/Pick Up Location, there will be signs directing you. The location originates from Jefferson Ave. You can put intersection of West University and Jefferson Avenue in your GPS (or click on link below) to get you to the right area.
Once you are in the right area, Jefferson Ave, turn into campus on West University, then turn left onto Commons Way (through round about). Allow students out on Commons Way. To exit the drop off area turn left onto West Daniels Street. We will have volunteers helping with traffic flow during drop off time.
For Pick Up please coordinate a pick up spot with your student(s). You may park along Commons Way and West Daniels Street. Due to construction, parking on Jefferson Ave and West Charlton Street is not available.
