SkyWarrior
Question for any of the RTP guys on here... Is there any kind of housing arrangement with SkyWarrior? I'm just wondering now if I should start looking for a room to rent in Pcola for a few months or if they have some kind of deal for housing in place. Thanks.

You're covered boo. Last I heard they have shared housing, $400 a month.

Any one have any details of the share housing? I'm debating whether to just bring my RV up there and live in that during my training. It will be about $100 more a month so wanted to know if it was worth it having "my own place". Is it shared rooms, internet, cable, etc? Thanks.

I stayed at one of the extended-stay type places, but was only there for about a month. If I had it to do over, I'd probably use the SkyWarrior housing to save the extra $600 I ended up spending.
The travel trailer also sounds like a great option. I might choose that over the shared housing because I value my personal space.
I think the SW housing will put you pretty close to the airport, which is nice. You'll have access to a full kitchen, washer/dryer, etc, which are great amenities for a 1-3 month stay.

I'd do the rv thing, and did do that while I was down there. Having your own place is much better in my opinion, and I'm too old to be sharing rooms with other dudes. Avalon landing just over the I-10 bridge is a nice place and has both wifi and cable. Another good one is Pensacola RV park. Both are within 15-20 min of the airport.

I am currently going through RTP at Skywarrior. They have housing. You will be in either a 2 or 3 bedroom house 5 or 15 minutes away from KPNS. The cost is 400/month. It's livable and works for training. Bed is fine, internet is good, the TV has basic cable, there is furnishings in the living room and dining room. Roommates I have are all good people, and we tend to talk about the days flights etc so there is a good cross communication for studying that stuff you may not have remembered from your time flying.

Marianna
I am currently at Marianna. The living conditions are as someone else said, somewhat open bay. We live on the 2nd floor of the FBO. There are 3 rooms with 11 beds: 6 in 1, 3 in another, and 2 in another. We have 1 female in the single room. Menu repeats itself every couple of days: Tacos, spaghetti, pot roast M-F. Fend for yourself on the weekends. 1 shower, downstairs with hot water. The one upstairs with us is luke warm, at best. There is a kitchen downstairs as well. There are also some restaurants within about a 10 minute drive.
As far as training we have 1 CFII, and 1 CFII/MEI that is very motivated. Time building, instruments, and multi move very fast here if you are willing to put in the time. We have guys that have cycled through here just after private, and gone in 1.5-2 months. The only place to refuel is here if you fly east. If you go to Pensacola, you have Pensacola, Trent Lott, and Bay Minette as refuel options.
