milje · 08-25-2007, 11:48 PM

Weird.

So how exactly do you get there? Public transportation or your parents? I've never heard of such a thing.

Ranger4banger97 · 08-25-2007, 11:49 PM

We weren't allowed vehicles as freshmen either. Its pretty common amongst the schools I applied to and that was fifteen years ago.

the longest ive been unable to drive my truck was for 5 days while down for repairs. that was a looooong 5 days.

now that i have a beater car to commute in, the truck stays parked for about a week at a time. theres nothing that makes a man appreciate a tall, 4x4, V6 truck with tight steering and suspension and well-balanced tires like driving a $600 ford escort for a week

No freshman parking is really common around here too. My school doesn't have it. I got to park on campus freshman year, but I'm a commuter. It's only the freshmen who are living in a dorm who are not allowed to have a car. As far as I know, the only schools that do allow it around here are the state universities.

I just went trough a similar experience. I was away from my ranger 3 1/2 months
i just got home gave it a tune up and babied it so much i missed it so bad.

im driving it to austin today in a couple hours since im in the middle of a move.
I should attend the Ranger Meet on the 8th somewhere near college station so im excited to have it back. eek im starting school tomorrow.

My daughter went to pitt, they weren't allowed cars there either until their Junior year. I guess maybe really small schools might let you drive as a Freshman or Sophomore. I would think Trade schools would let you drive also, since they tend to be smaller.

Jeez, I'm glad I didn't go to one of those schools. And I thought it sucked having to park a half mile from the dorms.
