<p>Basically the title. On the JMU website it says that Freshmen can't have cars (unless special reasons dictate otherwise), but what if we are out of state? Will they grant permission for us? It is kind of expensive for us (OOS'ers) to travel by plane or may I dare say it...TRAINS and going by auto might be a little cheaper.</p>
<p>Anybody hear anything along those lines?</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters - no cars for freshman. I think there are private lots that will “sell” you a parking spot off campus, but parking on campus, even with a permit is a problem. Check out ride sharing and this - </p>

<p>I don’t think it matters one way or another. I know that some freshmen who have cars “on campus” use freshmenparking.com – [Freshman</a> Parking - Take your car to School](<a href=“http://www.freshmenparking.com/choose.php]Freshman”>http://www.freshmenparking.com/choose.php)</p>
<p>Although it appears that the cost is close to 3x as much as a JMU parking permit. </p>
