<p>Are freshmen allowed to have cars on campus (as in are they eligible to buy parking passes), and would you recommend having one?</p>
<p>Freshman are allowed to keep a car on campus and there is a parking fee. DS, who is a sophomore, would prefer to have one so he could get into downtown LA, etc., but there are always friends who seem to have one and get him places if necessary. Is it necessary? No. Life is on campus and just a couple of blocks away and an easy walk are grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Is it convenient to have one? Yes. LAX is 5 minutes by car. LA is a car city, which is why it takes forever to get anywhere. </p>
<p>Perfect, thats everything I wanted to know, thanks a lot!</p>
