Has anyone brought their car cross country to go to college?
>moving to chicago IL
>live in San Francisco CA
>move in date sept 1
>apartment not dorms
>start school sept 5
>hoping to leave as late as possible so i can spend a bit more time home
>want to ship car, but services want 2000 fucking dollars
>parents and girlfriend agreed to drive with me if needed
Is it a good idea? I know parking in chicago sucks and people say "you wont need it" but if i dont take it, my parents will sell it, because they have no space.
Anyone do the trek before? How much time am i looking at if i drive 10 hours, sleep 8 hours and use the other 6 hours for gas, breaks, and food?
Should i just scrap the idea if its too much trouble?
>might leave on aug 28th or 29th

>also
Can i drive a mid-sized sedan from chicago to san francisco in the winter time on highway 80? Theres a fuckton of snow apparently but ive never lived through that
>>
Just take your car, man. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I imagine Chicago is cold as shit in the winter and so I wouldn't want to walk or use public transportation then.
Leave a day or two before the 1st so you won't be rushed.

I'm going to UW Seattle in the fall and was wondering the same thing, but for me it's just a 5 hour drive.

>this
No but seriously, im actually fucking stupid, but i need a college degree
All CSUs and good universities in california are almost impossible to get into unless you have a 3.0+, the standards are super high and ive spent some time at a community, but no one here goes from a community college to a CSU or good university.
So fuckit i decided to go to a state witj dumbasses and lower standards

Yeah, I had a 3.65 GPA (which would've been 3.9+ if we weighed our GPA's) with a 1350 SAT score, and I still didn't get in to UC Berkeley.

My point exactly
Its also way more expensive here in san francisco with the tech boom, i cant afford anything. So its a smarter move to go to Chicago than it is to stay home
Also i grew up in a city lifestyle and i would get bored of a small town in a matter of weeks, so i need that same feeling i get from sf, and theres only so many cities that will give you that

What part of chi? Uic? Loyola. You don't really need a car if you're going to either of those there's a cta station that drops you off right there. Btw hmu if you need a tour of the city. Btw chicago winters are fucking terrible.

It'll be expensive as fuck to keep a car in Chicago but if you can afford it do it. People will love you. I went to college in Chicago and having a car would have helped me when shopping, moving or going to events that the cta would be awkward to take/not running 24 hours. It'll be expensive, but if you can pay for parking then do it.
