(you will want your own room for studying if possible) You will not regret having your own car. (sorry west coast guys)
What another guy said earlier, spend the extra 9 bucks and get A Cut Above shirts. Get the fitted, unless you have a big belly. In that case, eat more vegetables you fat bastard. Seriously though, delta would not have hired you if you were that fat, so it won't be an issue.
It's not as simple as having a load of gold bricks to get rid of. Drive the car round-trip for 3000 miles, gas, food, hotel, wear and tear; call that $800+. You lose a couple days off each way on the drive, you deal with Atlanta traffic and the weather getting to and from SIMS, The hotel has free food for 11 meals a week, you could probably turn that into five days worth of lunches if you wanted to, Time and stress saved by being 10 minutes from work means a lot . Split a room at the hotel, now you're breaking even. Don't get me wrong, I'm on a budget, I'm not sure which way I'll go. But staying in the hotel looks pretty dang good, even to a poor fellow like me.
