Taking a car to Cornell?

definitely unnecessary to have a car as a freshman. there’s no reason for it, and parking is extremely expensive. you can get around campus and surrounding areas (commons, movie theater, mall, target, etc.) easily using the bus, and freshman have free bus passes. tons of people take buses or taxis to the airport.

when you move off campus a car becomes very useful for groceries and things like that, but as you get older you also get to know more people and can finagle your way to cheaper parking (i.e. cheap frat parking) rather than paying the ridiculous school lot prices.
