As you narrow your choice of schools, however, be sure to inquire about the transportation provided. The larger accelerated flight schools also provide similar transportation services between housing and classes, but it is the rare small accelerated program that does. At the smaller schools you will be responsible for your own transportation between classes. The primary means of transportation in the United States is by car. Grocery stores, restaurants, malls and more are usually located too far apart for walking or biking.
Public transportation is often limited and typically only available in larger cities.
The accelerated flight schools seldom provide assistance in this area. Universities have a considerable advantage in this area. Due to the large number of students located on campus, many businesses catering to the student population surround the university. Students can obtain almost anything they need within walking distance. Under most circumstances students should avoid purchasing a vehicle.
