I came from a country that doesn’t require car insurance, but here in the U.S., they do. So once you get your driver’s license, look for an affordable car insurance. There’s two kinds: full coverage or liability only. The second one is cheaper but it will only cover the damage of the other vehicle you crashed into, and you pay for your own.

I was really surprised moving here because I didn’t take insurance into consideration when computing my monthly spendings. So it’s something you can think about, although it’s better to just live near the campus and just walk or bike!

My background: I go to Michigan State University and it’s a GIGANTIC campus and driving is really advisable for my case since there are no buses near my building.
