<p>@GMTplus7 I did not mean to give the wrong impression. Most of my friends do not even have their drivers license yet, so I was not referring to joyriding in cars. What I meant was that even a 500 acre campus can feel confining after a while, and I enjoy the opportunity to be a part of my surrogate family when my own family is 4000 miles away. To your point, however, I would have also crossed off any school that did either a literal or figurative wink wink.</p>
<p>Being in a community with an effective public transportation system, the reliance on a student (or parent) with a car is non-existent. This would be different if I were at a school in the middle of nowhere, of course. As @cameo43, most schools require parents to give permission for their kids to ride in cars driven by students.</p>
