No, I will be in Bethesda. Not commuting to and from city

So I'm considering moving to the suburban DC area for grad school soon and wanted to know if a car is an absolute must have. I've lived my whole life in major cities and have never needed to actually drive anywhere (except when first passing my driver's exam many years ago). Is the public transportation system reliable or will I have to get a car?

And what school is that?

I'm just trying to find out if someone has gotten into a biochemistry graduate program without a chemistry or biology undergraduate major. What steps did they take to prepare themselves for the graduate program? What was the experience like?
