D1 had a car in high school. She went to Cornell without a car initially. She was able to get around in Ithaca without a car, by riding the bus or call for taxi sometimes. But since she had a car at home, she took it up with her after Thanksgiving. She got a parking spot at a fraternity - they charge a small amount of money, but I think she got it for free. The car made it quite easy for her to drive herself home. After the first year, she parked her car at her sorority house or at her off campus apartment parking lot. I think parking at one of those lots was 150-200/month.

D2 is going to Cornell this fall. She is not going to have a car because she can´t drive. I think she will be fine because she could take the bus or call for a cab.
