This magnificent setting can also pose a series of issues to students who are attending the college and for the population who share the downtown area with the college for work and residence. The commute from one campus location to the other can be a challenge. This is certainly an advantage to those who visit or are on a more relaxed schedule. The commuting options are varied and all have their advantages. Used with a bit of planning and a little patience, you can be where you need to be with time to spare.
Many students opt to drive a car when they come to campus.
Although a car seems a necessity in this day and age, it is becoming a liability in many of the urban centers in the United States and across the globe. The liability increases further with the increases in gasoline prices. The cost of maintaining and insuring an automobile has not seen sudden downturns either. All these factors combine to make the automobile an expensive option, but one that many feel they cannot do without. America's love affair with the automobile is well documented, and so it is with the SCAD commuter.
