Car or no car? Not to drive to and from school, but just in general. Is parking bad?
I'd say car, but here are some things to consider.
If you care about the aesthetics and external bodywork of your car, don't bring it. People who can't parallel park or have visual-spatial deficits will run into your bumper, scratch your bumper, take off your bumper (happened to my friend on Irving), hit and run your car (and honestly, probably not even know 3/4 of the time), etc.
That being said, I have a car and I'm glad I do. I can commute freely to work. I can go to the market whenever I want (avoid crowds at the 24 hour Safeways) and bring back lots of groceries. I'm able to help out friends in need (transportation, moving, etc.) and the like. Not to mention convenience in emergency situations.
However, you can get by just fine without a car. Maybe I'm just lazy...
