    I started School today and was told I would be going to Arkansas for Orientations, Which seems silly with a terminal only 2 hours from home here.
    Does USA run everybody thru AR. and which terminal is it Home office in van burne or west Memphis?

    Depends on where you go to school. If you go to C1 in Fort Wayne you go to orientation in Vandalia, OH. If you go to Indy and other locations you will orient in Van Buren, AR. I know from experience. I went to C1 in Indy and only live 4 hours from Vandalia but 10 hours from Van Buren. I HAD to go to Van Buren for orientation. Oh and that 10 hours is by car. It was supposed to be 22 hours by bus, but it ended up being 24:biggrin_2555:. I had one layover that was 8 hours! Worst part was the bus station closed at 5pm and my bus didnt get there til after 9pm. So there were 5 or 6 of us that had to sit outside for over 4 hours! Luckily it was just hot outside and not freezing cold. I have to admit I was a little stressed about the bus trip but it wasnt that bad.

    My last student went thru C1 in Indy and done his orientation at the vandalia terminal. They send you where ever they have available at the time.
