Vespa / Scooter for a college student?

This is especially for users of scooters only. I am a college student without a car (who died recently). I want a secure and affordable way to get from point A to point B. The city I live is a booming area (Arlington, Texas), so that is moderate (40-45 maximum mph) traffic. The scooter will be used to go to work (about 10 miles each way), and running errands. My girlfriend has a car that share today, so it is not necessary for me to always have the bike on the road. Given all this information., Would you say that the bike is a good choice for me? I do not want answers like this "Scooters are for nerds." or "Get a bicycle." because, frankly) Do not know what you think is for nerds, b) If I wanted a motorcycle, this would be motorcycles, scooters, no. Any words of wisdom, suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a 150cc Courier tank, which is one third the price of the Vespa. When driving through my neighborhood is perfect for my needs. Your insurance rates for saving me around $ 800/yr and the cost of gas @ $ 4/gallon pays for the bike in 1 year. I looked into buying a Honda and Yamaha, but their prices were beyond my budget. As a student at the University once I remember my priorities and transport was not at the top of my list, perhaps even its you. There are many reasons to choose some scooters, but if it is a matter of economics, appointments with a Chinese scooter 150cc/250cc distribution service. Good horse.
