August 22 class for reference.

You can walk to class every day during Indoc/ground school (at least for my class). This changes at sims… you’ll need a car or Uber (split 4 ways with another pair is super cheap if you absolutely do have to Uber).

CASS first week so you can jumpseat home pretty much every weekend… many people did this.

My sim partner and I had 32 days off out of the 64 days it took us from day 1 to checkride.
