Also check the reputation of the school. We have two in my neck of the woods that have "colorful" reputations and when their names come up it seems like everyone has to tell you a horror story about them. Why is this important? Because if you sleep with the dogs (work at a less than reputable business) you'll get fleas (a bad rep by association). But then again, bad reps are usually because of poor maintenance, poor aircraft condition, poor service and poor quality of instruction so you probably wouldn't want to work there anyway.
