| All 3 of my kids took cars their freshman year. But I do think each case (particularly campuses) is unique. It happened that my kids all went to school that allowed cars on campus for freshmen (one didn't even charge a fee and the others were very reasonable). Also, none of the towns mine were in had much if any in the way of public transportation. Since they were allowed cars, I would rather my kids be driving themselves than riding with others. |
