CP Fox.... we've been in this job for too long... We know too dam much
Lora as CP Fox mentioned, don't worry about the accomodation, there's always someone you can hook up with. Also during your base visit you'll be handed (should do anyway) a Base Welcome pack that gives you info on places to live, buses and connections to and from Apt and so on.
And my strong advice is to always take your instructor seriously. When he/she says you need to study at least 4 hrs everynight, do it. At the end of the day it'll help you with the exams.
Good luck.
