<p>If I were to have a car at NYU, would the dorms offer me some sort of free parking space and if not, are there cheap garages for nyu students? What would these costs be like?
I know people say its not neccesary to have a car but if I can bring mine and keep it just for convenience, i'd like to.</p>
<p>Nope. Parking in NYC is ludicrously expensive. I believe it costs like $400-$500 a month just to park a car in NYC. Public transportation is pretty much the only way to go man.</p>
<p>^agreed. Having a car doesn’t make any sense. It’s extremely expensive and NYU doesn’t have a designated parking area. There’s subways all around though and you basically have to get around through public transportation.</p>
<p>I’m keeping my current car at home… or my parents are just going to sell it.</p>
<p>@ OP. If you really want to use your car, you can keep it parked in a cheap garage in Queens or Brooklyn (can’t give you any specific ones). However it’s still kinda pointless doing this lol.</p>
<p>Having a car in Manhattan is a ridiculous idea. Typically, if you want to go somewhere, unless it’s late at night, the subway will always be faster. Especially during rush hour. I promise, a car in Manhattan isn’t a convenience. It’s a hassle.</p>
<p>thanks! I’ll probs not get a car then</p>
<p>Most parking garages in manhattan charge between $20 - $30 a night for your car. Very uneconomical unless you have an endless supply of money on hand.</p>
