I'd leave it home. NJIT isn't in the best part of town. The parking garage is only marginally better than being on the street or in a lot. You won't really have a need for it, except to get to and from school, but you already said the train is cheaper. And at least with the car at home, you can concentrate on school, not worry about whether or not the car is being scratched, dinged, abused, stolen, vandalised, or otherwise mis-treated.

When I was a freshman in 91 I took my 1968RS Camaro to school (Glassboro State) occasionally and regretted it every single time. Constantly worrying about the car. Bring a car, fine, but its college....get a POS for that kinda duty. MY POS was a 1979 Olds Cutlass with T-tops, full factory gauges, tach, console, buckets, power everything that I picked up for $750. Had the anemic 260 V8, had almost no oil pressure but ran like a top for the next 4 years. I sold it with 150,000 on it, never left me stranded.
