Generally no. First-year students may not have cars on campus unless Menlo grants an exception.
Can first-year students bring a car?
The 2026–27 handbook explicitly prohibits first-year students from having cars on campus without an approved exception. Eligible resident vehicles must be registered with the College.
Is there late-night transportation or an escort service?
The Housing & Dining page tells students to call or text Campus Security if they want someone to walk across campus with them in the late evening. Security operates 24/7.
