...wise enough to leave it in the garage. Save it for your week-end trip to Tanglewood or Cape Cod. Boston is no place to drive in. Scooters are fine, and walking is even better; but for most, the public transit system will do best. It's called the MTA, and 20 cents will get you almost anywhere.

There is little room in the heavily settled university area for parking facilities, and most students must leave their automobiles on the street, in limited (two-hour) parking spaces...
