You have to be quick on the radio communications, and fly at precise headings, air speed, and altitude. And also deal with not just one radio frequency for the airport tower, but approach and departure. It really keeps you on your toes. There's gotta be a place in south Jerzey that can get it for you around Philly's airport. It really helps a lot. Just an idea.
Not sure what exact flight rating you got, or what school you went to, but once you hold a private pilots licsence you are allowed to fly into any airspace (excluding class A airspace that requires a IFR rating). I have already flown into class "B" airspace as I was approved to do so with my certified student license as well as my private pilots license.

Not that any of this matters anyways, since I will be logging over a years worth of pilot training with the Air Force starting in the T-6, then the T-1, then the KC-135.
