Unless you live within 3-5 hours of Appleton its is highly recommended that you NOT commute home during your training.
Trainees are in ATW to study and learn procedures and systems. Your time spent studying is directly proportional to your success. There is plenty time given on the weekends for breaks from "the books" but you will waste precious time and sleep going to/from ATW.
Having your family visit is another option as it still boosts the spirits but is less likely to compromise your ability to study.
Air Wisconsin's curriculum is not any more difficult than other operators but having come from the Part 135 world, there is always something new to learn and prior experience doesn't always mean you won't have to sweat as hard.
Final takeaway: Stay in Appleton, less distractions, less stress than a commute home and more time to study.
AWAC has found the right hotel, its downtown near lots of food and entertainment options. Make sure you shop at Woodman's (debit card only) when stocking up on food (hotel will make a run).
Good luck with training.
