Necessity of a Car?

Most people here don’t have cars as we don’t like dealing with the perpetual parking hassle known as Cleveland, Ohio. Parking’s hard to come by and parking violations are very strictly enforced, and I’ve never really though it nessecary to have a car myself as in the rare occasion you need one you can always find someone else to bum a ride off of. Upperclassmen definetely have them more but I wouldn’t recommend it that much for a frosh at all.
Biking-wise it’s still decent around here, if only to go between northside and southside (which is what I usually do). It’s also pretty popular to bike down to lake Erie, I’ve done that a few times, and there are a few nice bike trails through local parks. Additional plus if you’re from a more hilly place: everything is much flatter! Woohoo! So don’t know if that’s enough to pacify your biking needs but it works for most of us well enough.
