Identification/Driver's License

You do not need a driver's license or state ID, but it can be helpful. Most students get by fine without one.
A valid driver's license is needed to drive within the US.
A photo ID is required when going to bars and buying alcohol (carrying your passport or non-US identification can be a hassle).
To obtain a driver's license/state ID, you will need a Social Security Number (SSN) or a letter stating you are ineligible for one (obtain this from the school).
