Couple of quick questions:
1) You mentioned a gym - is it close by/CTC based, is it free for CTC people and does it have a swimming pool?
Yes, it's in one of the blocks at clearways. Yes, it's "free". No, not unless you count the paddling pool someone has... There is a pool somewhere not a million miles away, but i'm not sure exactly where personally.
2) How much flying (once it's all settled) do you expect to be doing a week, and how much studying, both in class and afterwards at home?
Seems to be totally variable, both from week to week and from foundation course to wings course. Self study time is pretty much basically down to you - obviously though if you don't do enough then you'll struggle.
3) Do you have wireless broadband or any broadband in the accomodation?
Yes - wired broadband, not sure what happened to the wireless that was supposed to be in clearways from my hazy recollections of reading about it before I flew out here.
Good luck with your selection.
