Patricia Ingrassia CMC '13 informs me that this year's freshman class will not be allowed to have cars on campus.
I've written about how expansion will mean cutting or curtailing certain benefits on campus. Looks like we've found yet another example of how the school will begin to ration itself. I know I speak for a lot of students when I say that this is just too bad.
I've argued that the school should auction off parking spots in the past and it seems like this is a better solution than just banning freshmen from bringing their cars. A ban on parking would keep a lot of students from considering CMC. First semester, I had a heck of a good time exploring LA with my fellow freshmen and find it kind of unfair that CMC will continue to sell itself as being close to LA when incoming freshmen students aren't even able to go there via car.
In any event, to the freshmen who want to have a car on campus, I humbly offer you my spot -- for a price to be negotiated via email, of course.

Back in the day freshmen werenot allowed to have cars on campus. Looks like CMC is returing to the timeless truths of yesteryear!
