<p>I do not want to have the hassle to own a vheicle and people look up to the public transportation. Can you give me some recommendations?</p>
<p>Most cities have some public transportation and most schools, even those in the suburbs or small towns, offer some transportation to nearby cities. You need to be a lot more specific about what schools you are looking at.</p>
<p>Students in Boston, NYC, San Francisco and Chicago often don’t have cars, and are fine with public transportation and zipcar (hourly rentals.)</p>
<p>My son looked at Boston, NYC, and Pittsburgh. He now goes to school in Pittsburgh (w/o car) and enjoys walking and using the bus system.</p>
<p>I am thinking of the three schools outside Louisiana (I am in Louisiana)
Southern Methodist University (SMU) - Dallas
Georgia Tech - Atlanta, and
Fordham University - NYC</p>
<p>I believe those schools are relatively easier to get in comparing to Rice, Yale, and Duke, and the fact that they are very good (not fancy, btw) schools.</p>
<p>For Fordham, it is not my concern. NYC is super-metro, so…you know.
For Georgia Tech, I have to worry because public transportation is not very great. That’s why I have to worry about “Is Zipcar reliable and affordable source of car rentals?”.
For SMU, I also worry because I don’t know so much about DART rail system.</p>
<p>Delete the post above please because I separate it to a new topic.</p>
