Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Nearly every student interviewed discouraged bringing a car to college. Students cite the enormous expense and relative scarcity of parking in Cambridge as the major reasons to avoid keeping a car on campus. For practical purposes, students do not need parking because Boston’s public transit system provides them with subway and bus transportation to nearly every place in the city.

If you are adamant about bringing a vehicle to Harvard, then plan ahead, as parking permits tend to be bought up by the time school starts in the fall.

Parking?

As far as I know, parking is non-existent here. But why would you want a car? The T is convenient and relatively cheap. For $1.75, I can be in downtown Boston in 10 minutes.
