No Car On Campus Question

It depends. It may/may not make sense.

At my kid’s school, a lot of frosh do it.

Semi-urban school, limited on campus parking, frosh can’t get on campus permits. But a decent number of frosh get paid spaces in nearby garages of hotels or office buildings.

In addition to local Target runs, the cars are used for move-in, move-out, and to get back and forth for fall/Christmas/spring break.

If the car can replace a bunch of plane tickets, then the economics make a lot of sense.

No biggie for Mom and Dad to pick up/drop off the kid when the one way distance is 50-100 miles. When the one way is 250 miles or more, makes more sense to have the kid drive his own car. YMMV.
