And even then, you need to adjust for paying for rent, bills, utilities, everything and then decide whether or not you can afford it.

Started college at 19, same in your situation
I work part time 30/week hour while maintaining full time school.
I actually had a car but I SOLD it before I started school and took public transit for 3 years, school is a whole lot of stress man the last thing you need is to worry about your financial situation. OR worst you might have to work more to pay for the car, then your schooling will go down the drain.
Just wait till you're graduated. that's what I did.

This times a million. It needs to be repeated for everyone that is around our age and wants a new car. I'm 22 and started my full time position in January. I ordered the car in November because I knew that after my graduation in december I already had my full time position lined up, I knew a ballpark of what my salary would be, and I knew exactly how much I could afford. After a lot of consideration for how much I wanted to spend on modifications, what my insurance cost would be, what my average monthly gas cost would be, I pulled the trigger on an order for the 17 BRZ with performance package.
Buying a car isn't really something that a fresh graduate can do on impulse, it really takes a lot of planning to make sure you don't screw yourself financially.
