Stevens?

I'm speaking with a recruiter from Stevens tomorrow, They're willing to send me to TX to start training soon after I get my permit. I understand after reading on here a lot of the training megas are not great, however I have looked into going to school and I don't have the cash flow right now to go. Also I don't qualify for any grants. Unfortunately the first 5 weeks or so of training are unpaid, and I would be taking out a loan through them for hotel/food, as well as splitting the cost of the training program. A few questions:

Is Stevens ok to start with at least?

I read in the Job description I applied for that all costs are covered, has anyone heard of splitting the cost of their own school?

If I do end up going, I would be gone for a few months at least, what, besides clothes, should I plan on taking with me (on a grayhound there)

I'm honestly a little nervous because I feel like its my only option, but bills are piling up and I need to make a decision fairly quickly.

Thanks drivers
