Is it true that you cannot own/have a car on campus during your freshman year at most Universities?

Question

Any details to where this applies or how this works would be nice. Thanks

Specifically UC schools...

Answer 1

Every college/university has it's own parking rules. Some do not allow freshman to park on campus, but can not dictate car ownership to any student. Some allow freshman to park, but at a lot quite a distance from the dorms. Here are a few with no parking

Stanford and Santa Clara: "students are not permitted to bring cars to campus for the duration of their freshman year (Fall through Spring quarters). This includes students who have enough credits to be considered sophomores at any time during their first academic year at Stanford"

Albany: "To develop a sense of community among freshmen, the University does not permit them to have cars on campus, but all other students can."

Answer 2

It just depends on the college. Most allow it and a few do not. Usually because there isn't enough adequate parking for all students. I know my college and alot in my area allow cars but the parking permit is pretty expensive. A few are $200 or $300 a year to park there. Check with your individual university. You may have to park far away but you should be able to keep your car on campus.

Answer 3

I have heard that some campuses have this policy in place, however, I think each school has exceptions to the rule. My daughter went to Kansas State University. Freshman were allowed to have cars, but their parking passes were for the lots furthest away from the dorms. It was quite a walk to and from the dorm, so she only drove when it was absolutely necessary.

Answer 4

It is true for some universities, but certianly not most. These universities generally have public tranportation and a condensed campus/city, so you don't really need a car anyways.

Answer 5

I've heard that some colleges apply this rule and also some necessitate to stay in dorms during the freshman year.

Answer 6

Sounds like a military academy.

Answer 7

No. Not at UC Berkeley.

Answer 8

I don’t recognize in what concern Swami stated, yet I disagree because it provides a incorrect concept that many stuff will include us after we die except worry of lack of existence. there develop right into a saint poet Pattinathaar who wrote: ????????? ????????? ??????? ??????? ????????? ??????? ??????? ?????????? ????? ????????????? ???????? ???????? ???? ????????? ?????????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ??? ???????! ??????? ????????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ??????? ?????? ??????????? ???? ?????????? ??????? ??????????? ????????????? ???????? ???? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ??? ???????! In both the verses that is made sparkling with suggestions from the saint that, from the essence of vedas on the time of lack of existence we loose each and every thing and under no circumstances even a ear-damaged needle will include us in very last adventure! So we loose each and every thing which includes the phobia of lack of existence and under no circumstances merely the phobia of lack of existence.
