Is a car a necessity?

I would suspect that it depends on your curriculum, class schedule, activities, and how big ones social circle is (with friends who have cars).

Last year my son rarely used his car, but he lived on campus. Next year he will be living in private apartments, but they happen to be adjacent to the campus and very close to both of the buildings that he will be having class in, so I doubt that he would actually need a car.

Im not sure where Garnet Riverwalk is, but some of the off campus housing that we looked at really wouldn’t be doable for my son, because his first class starts at 8AM and he frequently has on campus activities until 11pm or later, so places like Riverside and other housing that is a few miles away from campus wouldn’t work for him without a car.
