I'm very sorry to hear about your father. It can be hard getting through to your parents about things, especially if they insist on being right about their decisions—about your life. My mother never put a dime away towards my schooling and we certainly couldn't afford another car... yet she still insisted I had to go to college immediately after high school (or find somewhere else to stay), even though I wasn't prepared in the slightest.

I guess it really depends on where you're planning to go, right? I depend entirely on public transit when it comes to college because in my area, a lot of the local schools are on at least one bus route. However, if you're going out of town, then it would probably be ideal to have a car. If you know exactly where you want to go, you may be able to research what buses are available and if they do shuttles, too. I know there's residence at my school, and they have a shuttle both to and from the school, as well as to local shopping districts at least once a week for groceries. So not everyone far enough away from home to live on residence has a car, but I can certainly understand why this may not be the most ideal setup for everyone. ) :
