<p>I don’t get that. I did have my own car when I turned 16 (it was a hand-me-down, but nonetheless, it was definitely my own car, for my own use) and I drove it to and from school, to my afterschool job, extracurriculars, etc. But when I went away to college, I simply didn’t need it, so why would I have brought it? To me, it’s whether it’s needed. I think part of the college experience is precisely that you’re on campus with your friends, you take public transportation to the city for fun, etc. To be honest, I’m not even crazy about the idea of moving off campus unless it’s a place in which off campus means one block over. I would see no reason not to stay on campus all 4 years assuming housing options permitted. I reserve the right to change my mind, of course, but it would have to be a situation in which I felt my student NEEDED a car. Not just wanted one.</p>
