I have been saving for a year for a car, and now I have about $4000 in my bank. I’m a Senior in High School and I’m planning to attend UC Irvine this August. But my parents strongly disagree in me buying a car because 1. I just got my license, 2. she said college has prepared everything for freshmens so I won’t need a car, and 3. parking lot and insurance fee are too expensive for people under 21.
What she said make sense to me, but I don’t think I’ll survive without a car. Because I grew up in Asia, I’ll be going to Costa Mesa a lot to get stuff that can’t find in Albertson or Vons. Also since I used to live in that area, I’ll like to visit my friend that goes to M SAC, which is 30 min driving away from Irvine.
Once when my parents went to China, and I lived alone for 2 weeks, I found myself needing to use the car everyday, like buying water, going to the Post Office, etc…
So I want to ask how important is a car to you in college. Will I survive without a car?
