<p>None of the universities I cited above require you to drive. In fact, most colleges would only require you to walk or bike. At the worst (large campus) you’d have to take a bus.
This isn’t like high school. As a freshman, you’d live on campus, you’d go to the dining hall near your dorm (on foot), to the rec hall/gym on campus, etc. Students rarely leave campus unless they want to, and when they want to there’s usually a bus, a shuttle… Some colleges actually forbid freshmen (or even students in general) from having cars.</p>
<p>In Portland, you also have Lewis&Clark and University of Portland.
NYU is very difficult to get into and very expensive. You’d need tip-top SAT scores.
Fordham or Pace might be a better alternative but they’re both very expensive too depending on your stats (they’re not too good with need-based aid.)
Look at all the schools on this page, request information, etc.</p>
