"Having a car here is great. It allows me to go places in Massachusetts and beyond that I would ordinarily never get to," writes Ogden N. "Denny" Lewis '01 in an e-mail message.
Lewis says his car is far more convenient than other modes of transportation, especially for out-of-state trips.
Joshua L. Viertel '01, who boasts a red car affectionately named Clifford, after the big red dog, finds it "very useful for going on adventures like backpacking in Vermont and New Hampshire, visiting relatives and friends or going to Chicago or New York."
Students also note the usefulness for student activities.
"I've taken my team, the women's club tennis team, on road trips to Yale and Tufts," Brook C. Wilkinson '01 writes in an e-mail message.
Lewis says groups like the outing, shooting and mountaineering clubs are always eager to use members' cars for expeditions.
