Part of the process of growing up and going to college is to find a suitable place to live where external activities, restaurants and the distance to school all meet your requirements. I’ve had trouble finding the suitable car for me ever since I got my driver’s permit. The factors of price, number of seats, the amount of cargo room and other personal favorite features such as the amount of horsepower and what type of transmission the car has are part of the decision. With that said, some of us need a car to travel from one place to another, especially if we will be attending college in a rural area far away from cities.
Here are the top cars of 2018-2019 that you can aspire to get for this (or next) college year. Keep in mind, though, if you cannot afford a car for your first year of college OR would simply prefer to avoid the responsibility and environmental cost, public transportation isn’t a bad idea. It’s kinder to the environment, easier to use—and those who choose this option will not have to worry about the expenses of owning a car.
