Sounds like the Rucker way of learnng. Friday night, Saturday, Sunday morning are yours. The rest of the time, you're in the books.

I have been through training five times at Skywest, and have spent one weekend not at home. If you are able to study during the week, and get the flows memorizied you will be fine. During the week I would go to class, then right after class go to the gym. I would then get dinner and study with guys on class. Going to the gym allowed me to decompress after being in class for eight hours. During sim I would go home if I had two or more days off. From my experience the guys who study nonstop for sustems end up behind for FTD and sim.

It's important to me and I'm a hack at normal job type stuff, so I buckle down when going through the school house. One trick pony. "What's the problem?"
Not all footprints are the same though. New hires can spend a 1/4 of the year in training while people already here can can knock a new type out in just over a month. If training is a month long, taking a full day off without studying isn't an option for me.
If you fail anything, you really don't want it to be the KV.

My roommate was gone on all the weekends and barely passed his systems validation. He was also on Tinder from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on the weekdays. I am not suggesting that one should never venture out into the city, but be mindful of your progress in ground.... 121 busts do not look good for moving on.

You'll know how you're doing in ground school. If you feel good enough you'll go home and if you're struggling don't go home. Don't base it off what someone tells you on the Internet who might understand the material a lot better (or worse) than you.
What I did was just planned to not go home. If I got to go home and felt comfortable enough, then it was a win. That way nobody gets disappointed. Everyone has different experiences.
