<p>For a grad student living on campus, how easy/how necessary would it be to own a car?</p>
<p>It’s incredibly easy to have a car on campus. Not a hassle in the slightest-- there’s plenty of parking, and most grad students live in houses with driveways so it’s even easier. </p>
<p>As far as necessary… it’s not. It definitely makes life easier, but everything you really need is available on Main Street, which is two blocks from the main part of campus. </p>
<p>If you have the option of bringing a car, I absolutely would. I’ve loved having mine on campus, because there are lots of great places to explore and restaurants just a little farther than walking distance. Especially as a grad student, you might want to get out a little more.</p>
