is Fuqua/Durham manageable without a car?
in addition to what Ankit mentioned, here’s something from a fuqua FAQ:
" I would definitely recommend a car. Many students come from New York or California and have not had a car in years, so when they get to Durham, they purchase a car. There are buses around campus, but personally, it’s easier for me to have my car to get up and go when I please. Plus, you’ll probably get involved in some off-campus activities around the area, so you may want your own transportation to get around. If you decide to go without a car, however, you’ll find that your classmates are pretty nice, and are usually willing to give you a ride to and from class! Luckily, all business students get parking passes that are fairly close to Fuqua."
it’s all about personal preference, having a car is always good, but Durham is definitely more manageable than a lot of other B-School towns, if you don’t have your own means of transport!
