It’s not necessary to have a car, but it’s nice if you like to make your own schedule/do stuff on your own time. The shuttle will take you most places you’d want to go (ie, Red Hook, Kingston, Tivoli), but relying on it can be a pain in the ass. It runs fairly frequently, but having to structure everything around the often erratic and confusing shuttle times will frustrate the impatient soul. I’d say that a car is really fucking useful for errands and shit, but not really that important for “getting off campus” for parties/socializing/etc, as the shuttle is pretty much fine most of the time.

There’s also a shuttle that takes people to the train station sometime on Friday (or Saturday?), but I’ve never taken it so I don’t really know about it.

Hi readers —

So, campus is clearing out, and, thus, this blog enters into a brief slumber.

But I’ll be reblogging Bard related posts over the summer, and I’ll return as soon as L&T starts back up.

Thanks for a years worth of pretentious/painful/drunk/confusing conversations, Bard College! <3

PS: Incoming freshmen, message me if you have questions about stuff and I will maybe probably answer.
