I can't say from experience, but while on the interview I seem to remember the students telling us that there was no parking available for students, 1st year or otherwise. To have a car, you'd have to arrange parking seperately - and I wouldn't trust trying to park it in the street in that area. For my part, assuming I go there (which seems pretty likely at this point) I'll be leaving my car at my parents house in Queens.

SUNY is 2 blocks from the subway, fer chrissakes! Do you really need a car?

I think I remember my tour guides saying that getting a permit (or something like that) was no problem, but finding a spot would be...
