Everyone’s situation is different vis a vis how they value their money vs privacy. My attitude is that if you even have to ask, and you have the cash, get your own room. If you have your car, then you’re not even restricted to the company hotel. I stayed at the downtown Sheraton for like $79 a night for the first phase, then did own room at Candlewood. If you don’t have a car, you can rent from Advantage, walking distance from Candlewood, for pretty reasonable rate.
But as I said, everyone has different priorities. I’ve got a wife and couple kids I tried to FaceTime almost every day, I go to bed early and wake up late & I was in and out every weekend. No way would I want to subject anyone else to that, let alone my own desire for privacy. So the couple grand for hotel and car was a non-issue for me; you can always meet up to study and go over stuff without sleeping 5 feet from them.
