<p>I’m not sure what the parking regulations are for transfer students, but a car would certainly be worth the trouble if you’re interested in working in Cambridge or Boston. It’s generally faster than the bus, and you’ll have the advantage of traveling to and from any destination at your convenience. Parking, however, is not so fun in the city, and the car would be more expensive than public or college transportation. These are issues to consider, but the car would make scheduling much simpler for you.</p>
<p>As for the feasibility of commuting that far and that often, it’s probably manageable. Students taking classes at MIT commit similar amounts of time to activities in Cambridge, and you’ll just have to be aware of your time limitations. Alternatively, you could consider joining a group like [Wellesley</a> Words on Wheels](<a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/cws/volunteer/wwowintdesc.html"]Wellesley”>http://www.wellesley.edu/cws/volunteer/wwowintdesc.html), which has more structure and isn’t quite so far away. I think it provides transportation, too.</p>
<p>If you want to participate in more urban opportunities, you can. You will have less time to participate in campus opportunities, but you’ll be able to find a balance between the two.</p>
