You won't need a car during training. The hotel shuttle will take you back and forth from the hotel to the training center, and I believe there's a supermarket nearby. One guy in my class had a car, which was nice at times but definitely not necessary.
I would highly recommend staying in Appleton to study rather than jumpseat home. We have had some training issues with the new-hires this year. The number I have heard is about a 40% washout rate. AWAC's training is fair, but very tough. If you have some RJ experience or this isn't your first airline, then disregard what I just said and feel free to commute home.
