<p>I assume you would be 17 when you attend UT though, right? Same with me, and plenty of other people.</p>
<p>Our D is bringing her car for various reasons. First we only live an hour away so her being able to just jump in the car and drive home is important to her. Second, she plans on trying to get a volunteer position in Austin and does not want to be limited because of transportation. We consider the parking fee to simply be a part of her COA just like the University does.</p>
<p>soadquake981- ya ill be 17
collegeshopping- ya i only live an hour away as welland I think i am going to explore some other parking garage options that cost less even if they are an inconvenience. I dont plan on using it that often but want one just incase of an emergency or just having the option of going somewhere onmy own and not having to rely on others.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s just a matter of what you plan to do while in Austin. It wasn’t such a great idea for me because home is a 6 hour flight away, and all my activities were on or near campus. Just decide for yourself!</p>
