The parking at CTC is not as limited you seem to think; we start at 0815 so there are plenty of spaces, even next to the E-Block door. As far as living is concerned a few of us have our families down, a few share houses and a few rent rooms. The houses are generally in Whiteley, Locks Heath, Park Gate and Eastleigh. I would advise renting privately if possible or getting a room through somewhere like spareroom.com as the letting agents are robbers (£200 each 'letting fees' aren't unusual). I don't know of any buses but I don't know any trainees that use any. For the most part everyone drives and occasionally those who share a house share a car.
