<p>I’m a freshman, and I don’t have my license. As mentioned above, most freshman aren’t allowed to have cars anyway. Everything you need is walking distance anyways. If there is somewhere you really do need to go thats further away, upperclassmen in your dorm with cars would be more than willing to drive you. Having a bike is helpful though, especially if you have classes at the other colleges. It definitely isn’t necessary though. If you do get/ bring a bike make sure to lock it though because that is a big problem (non-mudd students often come and take bikes).</p>
