I will have to admit that my initial take was as a cadre member and not as a student.
D9's points are well taken. If you can get on post, some of the housing, especially the new stuff is very nice and is quite convenient. If not, there are plenty of apartments which in some cases can be even closer to work than some of the base communities.
The one problem is if your kids are school age and you are living off post, and are unable to get them into the DoD school on post. I would not want to put my kids in the Fayetteville public schools and I drove 37 miles each way to work in order to avoid it.
Being able to come home and clean up after PT or to pop home for lunch and maybe a quick nap sure beats joining the pack on Yadkin International Raceway for the fast food lunch crowd, or bagging it in the classroom.
Good luck.
