They seem to be using a few different hotels, I was in the 12/3 class and have been living at the townplace inn & suites by marriott in Eagan. Pretty nice hotel. It has an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and laundry machines (bring detergent if you can). Chili's across the parking lot, groceries and a wally world within 1/2 mile. The shuttle will take you to class and out shopping, but the on time performance is somewhat dubious. Aside from the clothes and stuff they tell you to bring, there isn't much you're going to need that you won't have easy access to. The car would be nice, but a lot of guys in my class have gotten by just fine without them. Hope it helps- welcome aboard!
