I went there 3 years without one, considering the parking situation it didn't seem to hinder me
If you have a job off-campus and/or live off-campus, it certainly can make life easier. It's not necessary, but it is often nice to have.
My daughter, from Texas, went the entire year at ISU without her car. She lived in Geofroy and rode the bus to Target, HyVee, North Grand, sushi, etc anytime she needed to go off campus. I don't think anybody needs their car at ISU.
I drove ~35 miles round trip each day for 5.5 years probably 6 times per week.
The life of a commuter student at ISU was fun.
That being said, if you live on/near campus, you should not need one.

No, I walked to bars and class on foot. Bad days I’d take the bus.
Need? No. But they were pretty damn handy to have.
I voted no, but anybody looking for a decent used car let me know. I get a new(er) vehicle every 5 years and just did so. My older one is a '13 Fusion with 73k miles. I'm in E. Iowa so you need to be somewhat close. Very reliable. 32+ MPG. Drove it back from FL 2 weeks ago.
PM me if you're interested. Reasonable, not cheap.

Can't you take a bus there?
Oh wait, you said laid, I saw Lied. It's been so long I can't even read laid anymore.
Do you need a car... no
Is it nice to have one.. Duh! But it's really hard to get an OWI when you can't drive home.

Nope. I walked from Towers four years when CyRide just started going.
First ISU son bought one when got an internship that required one and made him able to afford one.
Current ISU son just got one for internship reasons. He can haul around his brother next year if he needs it.
Walking and biking helps prevent the freshman fifteen and other calamities.

True, but it makes it easier to get caught peeing on central campus while walking home from the bars...
