When I was in college, no one had cars on campus, period. Anyone with a car at college is weird to me. -- nm

Our house had a little parking lot, so I had a car. Never used it to get to class though. -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 20, 08:55
I did, but it was to drive to work. I walked to class. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 08:39 6
- Yeah, no cars on the campus itself. Had to ride a bus into it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:41 5
  - I theoretically could park downtown (and did during my Freshman/Sophomore years when I lived at home). - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 08:54 4
    - Yeah, IU is in the middle of Bloomington, so depending on the class locations I did drive on occasion and park near and walk in. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:55 3
      - Very similar to ISU, then. It's right in the middle of Normal and there are places you can park and then walk. Or there were back then. :) - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 09:19 2
        
        It actually made living on campus a *good* idea as you could walk to theaters, bars, etc. - Spawn Jul 20, 09:20 1
        
        Haha! Same, same. - Dark Callisto Jul 20, 09:53
To me, this is totally dependent on the campus itself. Some campuses you don't need them at all. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 08:36 1
- Yup. When I was upstate at college it had a big campus like some would imagine. But at NYU there's no typical campus and no parking needed. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 09:02
I had a car in college, but very rarely drove to class. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 20, 08:35
I lived off campus for that reason. Anyone that does not have a car is weird to me. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:08 5
- YOU couldn't get a parking space off campus if you tried. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 08:51 2
  - My condo had reserved parking spaces, plus plenty more. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:56 1
    - We had street parking only, for EVERYBODY. impossible to get a spot. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 09:08
- At my school and many others, freshman aren't allowed to live off campus. No car on campus as well means they're likely to be more active -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 20, 08:30 1
  - It was encouraged at IU, but not mandatory, but it does make some sense. It might have forced me to do a lot of stuff I did not do which would have - Spawn Jul 20, 08:35
Daughter did the first two years, then got tired of having to call the auto club for a boost every time she wanted to use it :) -- nm - Meg Jul 20, 08:07
I didn't my freshman year but when I transferred schools I never lived on campus after that -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 08:02
I never had a car on campus. When I was hall manager one summer, I had two reserved parking spots. :) -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 08:01
You really could have stopped after the 9th word. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 07:58
Same, but we were in downtown Boston so it wouldn’t really have made sense for anyone to have a car. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 20, 07:58 1
- Concrete colleges! -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 08:52
