FINRA Exam Studying Location?

Hi! I am scheduled to take my Series 7 and Series 63 in August, and my job is located in New York City. I was told that I am expected to study for the month and not come into the office; we aren't going to get laptops or emails. They just want us to be locked in. I was wondering if I should ask my company if I can study and take the exams at home (different state) so I can save on rent for the month or if this would be a bad look?
