<p>I still strongly urge you not to bring your car until at least winter quarter - you’ll want to stay on campus a lot and meet people/etc especially in the fall. Although having a car will get you some instant friends who’ll bum rides for the next year.</p>
<p>Have you ever been up here? Los Gatos is across highway 17 - a windy mountain road. I drive over the hill on a regular basis and usually budget at least 45 minutes. If you’re lucky and there’s no fog and no traffic, it can be 25-30 minutes, but that’s not the norm. You can try appealing to TAPS for a permit based on your job but you have to have the job first! (Do you already work for Apple?)</p>
<p>The church parking lots are more secure than the boardwalk lots that also rent to students. Apply early, they sell out fast.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
