<p>Indeed the lottery for freshmen is a new system this year. Being that it is a lottery, I cannot tell you what your chances of getting a spot are. I can however say that maybe the reason that we made it a lottery (aside from the general lack of parking by freshman dorms) is to make you re-think bringing a car. You really don’t need one here. You cannot possibly drive to class, there is a free shuttle to Mt. Vernon, and people really don’t leave very often. If you did need a car for whatever reason, you could borrow a car pretty easily.
Honestly, bring a bike. That is your best option
