TSA will not provide any housing during your training, there are crashpads in STL particularlly the pilot projects (think one website you can check is stlcrashpad.com)

training pay is 60hr/mo. which will equate to $570/2 weeks (you'll be poor) times can be between 2 and 3 months we started sept. 5th and i start sim oct. 28, some won't be in sims till after me, so finally done w/ training in early nov...

trainings not that bad, firehose of information they'll feed you, PM me if you want more info on that. And commuting with TSA as far as i can see it, will suck majorly, especially initially while you're on reserve. Hit me up w/ Q's, ps...how many in your class?
