Do I need a Car (for job)

College Life

<p>I’ll be a sophomore at my University this year and I’m looking at job options. I just got an offer to tutor local grade school students for the America Reads/America Counts program (work study). While the job pays quite a bit better than the campus jobs, I’ll need a car. My parents don’t want me to take the job because they feel getting a car cost too much. But I also believe that I need a car to visit friends since many are off-campus this year. Should I get a car (used/new/lease) or go without a car?</p>

<p>Does the university have a bus system that you could use to get around? Cars are very expensive (car+gas+insurance+maintenance.)</p>
