I stayed there two nights, one at the Brent House, one near the airport for my morning flight (cheaper). The interview and information session go until 4-5pm and we had like 10ish applicants there. There may be more applicants during your session, given that its later in the cycle, so if you can find flights I would say after 8 pm and wanna go home asap, then stay only the one night. If you like going out, feeling the nightlife vibe (I mean it's NOLA, can't say no to that lol) and heading over there with friends or ridin' solo, then stay two nights and head over to Bourbon Street, hella fun and great food!
