Welcome aboard.
If you can bring a car I would do it. There's a few groccery stores that are just a bit too far to walk to. Lifetime Fitness is 5 miles away (They give a NWA discount just bring your badge). There's a shuttle service to the training center and the airport from the hotel but they won't take you anywhere else. If you take a lift to the airport, you can ride the light rail to the Mall of America or to downtown MSP. Downtown is a great place to spend the weekend. Good restaurants, nightlife etc. You can also bike from the light rail to Lake Nickomis, Lake Calhoun, soccer fields etc. There's a pretty decent bike trail in Eagan to (Lebenon Hills), near the hotel.
Study hard but take time for yourself to decompress. At least two hours a day doing something that has nothing to do with aviation.
See ya on the line!
