<p>Public transportation is a possibility…And you can certainly ride around Claremont. Having been to New York twice recently if you have the stomach to ride around New York you should be able to learn to drive. BYW, MILLIONS of people drive everyday. Please do not think that you are less talented, coordinated or less brave than the rest of us. Remember, you may not return to live in New York and it is a shame to admit defeat and be dependent on others for rides because of a perceived “hassle.”</p>
