car vs. motor scooter

Published

I don't know how important/relevant this topic might be, but I was wondering how important it is to have a car during nursing school vs other forms of transportation. I'm still pre-nursing, so I have no idea how much stuff you have to carry with you on a daily basis.

The reason for this question is because I am considering buying a scooter within the next two months, but I don't want to invest in something that will be inconvenient during school. So I guess my question is this: will having a scooter instead of a car be inconvenient when it comes to getting to school and clinicals?

I know rainy days might be tough, but there aren't many of those here. On those days I suppose I could take the bus, or get a ride. Are any of you guys going to nursing school using public transportation? And if so, is it as big of a hassle as it seems?

Hopefully I'll be starting NS in January.

Did you ever decide to get the scooter? I'm trying to figure out if I want to get one as well. I have a crappy Chevy Blazer and the travel to school would kill me. Its only a whopping 12 miles each way lol but at barely 15 mpg its alot.
