I had no desire to deal with roommates like I did in college so, I rented an apartment close to the airport. I had a nice place that was quiet when I needed it to be, but, moving sucks, and I had no connections there. I would take one or two trips a month to Texas to visit friends and family when I could receive several days off in a row (that was pretty easy to get). Doing these trips wasn't too bad because flights weren't packed like they are between major hubs. Still, this was a better option than crashpads and commuting.

Day trips, not so much. CMH has mostly 4 day trips, a few 3 and 5 day trips, but even fewer that are shorter than that. The only time I saw a day trip was on IOE.
