Help ..Need Advice

i go to a large, fairly rural, state university and i'd say a car isn't necessary unless you really want an off-campus job. our campus is huge, and we run the largest on-campus bus system in the country, plus the town we're in has a fairly comprehensive bus system. it's not absolutely ideal, but it's doable, and you'll probably have friends that have cars that will help you out. my roommate doesn't have a car and she does fine. most urban campuses won't even allow you to have a car, particularly not in your first year.
 
hey I was just looking on craigslist and saw decent cars for around only 1,000 which i could definitely save up my safe ( would have to sacrifice buying a bag but i guess it wuould be worth it!) so I guess things won't turn out too bad.
