No car for our son at college more than 11 hours away. First of all, the parking issues are enough to keep it in the garage at home. Second, we do not relish in the thought that everyone wants to "borrow" the car. I am not inclined to provide transportation for other students at my expense and liability. Third, he is fortunate to attend college at a campus that is pretty much self-contained and coupled with his workload he just does not have the time to leave campus. We are saving that car money for graduation when he will most likely truly need a car.
PS-and about riding with others in their cars~he rarely leaves campus and when he does, it's cab time! So, we don't depend on other students, either.
