Free is a good price. Insurance is awful.
But as others note, you can really get by without a car at college, and having one can get to be a hassle with parking, etc. Most college towns have ways to get around and you can likely sponge rides or ride a bike if you are into that.
I would first compare insurance costs for the car being in your name or your parent's name with you as the principal operator. The difference can be huge in some states. Then decide:
1. If you can keep the car at your parent's home while you're at school, keep the car for summer job use, so you only insure it when you need it. If it holds up, you may still have it when you are done and need a car. Or sell it then.
2. take the gift, sell the car and use the money for school and other stuff.
I DK what your financial situation in, but school is not cheap, so having cash may be better option.
