@jemmo Your concern should be, without a license you won’t legally be able to drive, and you’ll likely face fines and impounding if caught.
Whether you get a parking permit can depend on other factors such as cost or convenience. For example, I’m 23 and have had my license for 7 years, and did not get a parking permit since I don’t park on campus often/long enough for it to be worth getting one.
But for you, you should consider public transit/carpooling or other options before you have your license.
