Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
I'm not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas. Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don't have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown. Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren't I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers? * I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

there is a public transportation service in the Phoenix area, plus, it's likely you will meet people that also go to your school, maybe an opportunity to car pool

Phoenix has a GREAT public transit system. I went to college there with no car and it was a breeze. There is a bus for every major street and lots of minor ones too. There are plenty of express routes as well and now they also have a light rail. You can get a monthly bus pass for cheap and they're pretty darn reliable time-wise. Because of all the colleges in the area, there are also a lot of starter jobs for college students. You also need to keep in mind that the transit system stretches to Tempe as well so it's not like it keeps you stuck within Metro Phoenix. Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Peoria, etc are all easily reachable via public transport. Public transport is never a 100% clean or creepy people free experience, but compared to a lot of cities, Phoenix has a great system going. I used it the entire time I was going to college there and never had a problem. Sometimes I'd even bike part way and throw my bike on the front of the bus for part of the ride. Because it's so hot in the summer, they really have to have a good public transit system or no one would get anywhere =) You can't walk or bike when it's 120. For the first summer you'll be telling people "DRY HEAT MY @$$!!!!" but you will get used to it. The first time you fly home to Richmond during the summer, you'll see what I mean. I was always poo-pooing "dry heat" until I stepped off a plane in Chicago when it was 89 (100% humidity) and I couldn't breathe. You don't sweat when it's 120 in Phoenix either. Well, you do, but because of the low humidity it just evaporates. You're hot, but you're not uncomfortable.

They play football in middle school? I thought it was outside organizations like Junior Football League or Pop warner that did. And another thing, who cares wat middle school your at, the main thing to focus on is the high school. And if your good enough to play at the next level, the high school dosent really matter either, they'll come find you.

You can't transfer in Texas, even middle school, for athletic reasons so you're SOL. However, get your parents to buy a house for you. That'll work. But really, the best middle school football program in Texas is George Strait Middle School in Frisco.

What are you gonna do there, cheerleading?

I live in Austin Texas and I wanted to know where I could get school supplies tax free. I know Wal*Mart only gives clothing and shoes tax free, but I wanted to know a definite store that gives out school supplies with tax free. Please any store will help! I know the dates are August 17, 18 and 19 but where exactly do you get school supplies tax free? Thanks for helping ! (p.s. does macy's give clothing tax free ? Like the jouniors; are the clothes tax free? Rememeber this is AUSTIN TEXAS!)

Sorry.. School supplies are not among the items that are tax exempt during next weekend's the Texas tax free holiday, but plenty of other items are. Here is a link to the full list of all tax free items as listed on the state comptrollers office web site: http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98_490/tx98_490.html

Through your personal info such as SSN, name, address, DOB, school attended, and etc. Your school counselor can probably help you with that. In my school, I just have to fill out a form for the counselor and he will send the transcript with a rec letter. Good luck.

I think get official transcript then if you have SSN, show it to them
