<p>I’m a sophmore, and this is what i recommend:
Freshman aren’t allowed to get parking permits but you can park in the street (and sometimes in bray parking lot since they don’t check there). What I recommend is to come to rpi without a car, and a bout a month into the semester if you want to, and see a need to bring a car. </p>
<p>commuters can have cars, and if you end up joining a greek house, SOME allow you to park there (if they have a parking lot).</p>
