Parking at Columbia...

<p>For the guys who are at Columbia now:</p>

<p>If I get in (I hope) I will need parking. Hopefully for both my cars, but since I live close to home, I can settle for one if it costs too much. But for the guys who know, how much is it per month, per car? Is it safe (do the have cameras and such in the parking complexes)? And can you give me the name or phone number of a local parking structure?</p>

<p>Thanks in advanced...</p>

<p>Please tell me you're being facetious.</p>

<p>you've asked this before, and I still think it's ridiculous. Why would you need a car in nyc? If I were to see an 18 year old step out of his Porsche, I would for sure be like oh what a pompous ass. Of course, I wouldn't act on it, like by keying your car or anything, but there are people out there that might. Just think about if you really really want to subject your baby to that harm.</p>

<p>i don't think u are allowed to have cars at Columbia</p>

<p>The fact that you judge people because of what car they drives makes you the ass. </p>

<p>And you are allowed, I asked.</p>

<p>a car in manhattan?...ooo beautiful u know what bring ur car around columbia ..hehe i can already see it...the windows smashed..yepp..all of it..first of all..if u wanna travel in ur car..ull spend days in one spot..</p>

<p>parking is hugely expensive
to have even one car in the city would result in upwards of a 1000 a yr for parking, u won't be taking it ANYWHERE. subway is cooler in the city.</p>

<p>Do you live close to NYC?</p>

<p>I commuted to NYC every day during the summer in my car. Not once did I have a problem with someone damaging it, and the traffic was not as bad as people think.</p>

<p>1000 bucks, u sure?</p>

<p>Because thats not a bad price for a safe garage. And I would only be using it for 3/4 of a year.</p>

<p>I know somewhere who commutes from Westchester. He parks his car in a nearby municipal parking lot, and I think he pays around $300 per month.</p>

<p>Watch how stupid you will look when you're trying to pick up chicks and your fancy Porsche is stuck in traffic all night.</p>

<p>There's a Robert Scheckley story about futuristic NYC, where people sit in traffic jams for months. Not too far from the truth.</p>

<p>heh of course i live IN NYC!...and dude i was walking by columbia the other day..maybe a couple blocks away from it...and near every car there was glass all over the floor..during the day..no one is going to do anything..but hun dont believe me..take your car out there..if u are not leaving it a parking lot..than ur screwed..but hey you gotta experience it first to believe it...</p>

<p>You seem to flaunt your wealth too much. That's a characteristic that most people don't like. I don't mean to be a b*tch about it, it's just really not a nice thing.</p>

<p>having a car - i think is useless - but I live on long island so I'll just keep my car at my house and when I come back, I'll drive it.</p>

<p>But yeah - parking garages cost about $300 per month in NYC, my grandpa lives in Queens and the parking garage in his own building reserved for tenants is like $180 per month, I def think that its gonna be between $3000 and $5000 for the entire year.</p>

<p>car in the city? why would you do that?</p>

<p>yea honestly... why</p>

<p>as a girl, i would think "he's obsessed and a little crazy" rather than "how hot"</p>

<p>no offense intended but probably taken</p>

<p>Well you "seem" like someone who judges too much daria.</p>

<p>Anyways, thanks for those who helped. Please don't post unless you can answer my questions.</p>

<p>Well, it looks like you people think the reason I have my car is for girls. You would be dead wrong.</p>

<p>No offense, but you "casually" refer to your financial status on every financial aid thread, and you've mentioned this car parking business before. You need to bring it down a notch. Some of us blue-collar students find it a bit offensive.</p>

<p>I think the ladies would prefer a ride in the 911 turbo in the cold NYC weather.
keep it pimp carrera_gt
holla - and when his car gets filled up, hop into my whip -</p>
