You you need/want a car?

I’ve lived in Waltham for six months now without a car and honestly only appreciate the fact that my girlfriend has one when we want to drive to New York or into central Massachusetts. You don’t need a car to get into Boston (in fact, you’ll appreciate not having one) and Brandeis has a shuttle for students into Boston that runs on weekends until the wee morning hours. Waltham is extremely walkable, with three good-size grocery stores within walking distance of Brandeis (two Indian grocery stores, one more like Safeway called Hannaford). From Moody St. to Brandeis it’s about a half hour walk, totally doable with a backpack full of groceries. There are also tons of transit options and I have a neighbor who regularly uses Uber to get around more quickly.
