During ILT (class), you will be on day shift, with the simulator phase being on afternoons or mids, as the LORT (already licensed) guys get the simulator on days. During OJT, you will work rotating shift work. During your 6 months prior to class beginning, there most likely will be some shift work and some day shift. My site has pretty much established that the 6 month period will be spent on shift. You can live wherever you want, as you are not a part of the on-call team that must respond within one hour.
