I drove, and no one paid me?!?!
I was really happy that I drove. It gave me the freedom to get around, and it didn't feel like I was trapped at the hotel. If I had it to do again, I would certainly drive. Also, if you can, drive to CVG for sims. There are really no restaurants or other good things in walking distance.
My class was in Dayton during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so the schedule was quite different. We had breaks for the holidays (4 days off), but had class on the rest of the Saturdays to make up for it. Most people went home for the holidays, but some stayed due to flight loads. Flights out of Dayton fill up pretty quickly, depending on the weekend.
