Though many people forget the terrific asset known as the Stadium lot. You are allowed to park there all the time except during football games.

The main reason that having a car when living on campus sucks is you really can't park anywhere, you're bound to get a bunch of door dings, and if you try parking somewhere you shouldn't youll end up with a bunch of tickets (I think I got 5 last fall alone)

However, Im an architecture major and I know I always had to go to walmart, home depot, lowes, etc. For that it made life so much easier. You can always just make friends with someone who has a car, but when you do that unless they let you drive their car, you're gonna be at their will.

It's a PITA to park, but its better then the bus when you have to go into town to get stuff like groceries.
