No Car On Campus Question

I never had a car in college (and in high school I was the 5th driver in a one car family - guess how often I got to use the car?). My kids didn’t have a car in high school or college - we just couldn’t afford it. One lived on campus for 2 years and in a house right next to campus for 2 years. She managed to get rides or use a bike. There was a campus shuttle but she rarely used that. She had friends who would drive her to the airport and she paid them for gas, tolls, and their time but often there were others traveling at the same time. My other one lived in a dorm one year and in the sorority house, which was ON campus, for 3. She too walked a lot or asked for rides, mostly to hockey practice which was a mile or so off campus.

And they have lived to tell the tales of college without a car.
