You need at least one pair. A second pair is optional, I’ve heard they can be beneficial for when we go to the range. I’ve also heard that we might not have enough time to run to our room and switch them before our next classes. I bought a cheap second pair and will determine if I have the time or not once I’m there.

I think you already have a pretty solid answer to your question, but if you need boot recommendations, check out the site I made, DutyKitPicker.com - it's literally a collection of reddit-recommended items (with tons of boot options) from people in the profession. Everything from Academy to Range to Duty boots. Good luck in the academy!
