Is it worth getting a car?

Hi, we wouldn't recommend getting a car. Chester is a compact city and everything you need is within 10 mins' walk of our Parkgate Road campus. If you are living in University accommodation you won't be able to park your car on campus anyway.

Hope this helps

I live in Greater Manchester and am hoping to get into Chester next year when I start to apply for unis but I was just wondering if it’s worth getting a car?

Probably but not until you’re 19-20 because tax will probably cost more than the price of the actual car if you want to own one from 16-18.

I’ll be 19 when I go to uni because I spent a year doing Musical Theatre and then changed to child care. I’m in my second year of college but I have an extra year to do before I complete my childcare course so I’ll be 19 xxx

Its probably worth getting a car if you need to commute long distances quiet frequently or if transport is quite expensive around the area. You could work now and save up for a car.

I hope you meant insurance.

Thankyou that helps a lot. I think I was mainly thinking of getting one because on the Primary teaching degree you get assigned to different placements and I was worried that they wouldn’t all be accessible by pubic transport. I would be at the riverside campus and on the open day the accommodation seemed quite far from there when I went on the bus.
