About half my class had a vehicle so we car pooled to and from which came in handy. Especially during IPT's when you get assigned a time like if you were in simulators.
No one needed an uber between classmates with cars and the hotel van.

If you’re at the hotel in Troy and get stuck with the really late night or early morning IPTs, then you may want a car so that you’re not at the mercy of the shuttle driver. Otherwise, whether you’re in Vandalia or Troy, you’re next to a Walmart and a short walk to restaurants and bars.

For new hire, highly highly highly recommend having your own vehicle. Yes, they will provide most transportation, but to have some liberty to come and go as you please goes a long way. You may need to go blow off steam, or hit the store. Also, once you get into a study routine, you can hit up the training center 24 hours. So, having my vehicle, my partner and I would goto the training center for a few hours after hours and study up before and after dinner. It really helped out.

This was years ago, but we were placed in Troy for our IPTs (I think now called SIPs). It was a pain, so I flew home one weekend and drove the 8 hours up to have a car. Made the world of a difference, because we had the very late show.
