No offense taken mafool. You’re certainly free to disagree. I agree with you actually that avoiding parking on campus would be ideal as parking isn’t so friendly for visitors. But you have to take a taxi from the airport each way anyways, which is probably like $50 total. When I visited, I would typically drive to a restaurant or two and some other sites, but perhaps amazhon is planning on staying on campus the whole time. So, if you figure a few more more cab rides @$10-15 each, then that works itself out to ~$90 and renting a car for a couple days is likely cheaper.

Although I suppose you can take a bus from the airport which is pretty cheap, and if your hotel has a shuttle service to the campus, might as well take advantage of it to avoid any parking hassles. In any event, probably won’t make too much of a difference and I guess it depends on where you plan on going during your visit. I just personally would venture to off campus places more when visitors came, so perhaps my experience is different. And, as you said, cost isn’t the only factor to consider. Have fun!
