If you can bring your car, that would be great, however, as soon as basic indoc is over, you will be shipped off to PHX for systems class for at least 3 weeks, possibly even longer if you do your sims there. Like everyone else said, here in STL, you can walk to a grocery store and a couple restaurants, it’s safe in the daytime. I just literally walked back from the Schnucks 10 minutes ago. No homeless encampments lol. PHX on the other hand, is a much nicer hotel, but it’s in a pretty depressed area of town, and I Ubered around quite a lot. The closest grocery store is about 1.5 miles away. I would have rather had my car there than STL.
