I'm currently enrolled at Spartan (of course the flight program), finishing up my instrument rating.

Uhm, if you can afford it, I'd highly suggest it. It's a quite exceptional school when it comes to covering all the content thoroughly, via classes and 1 on 1 instruction from your instructor. I gotta say though, they do a good job on weeding out the non dedicated and ill prepared. The stage checks and checkrides are quite brutal in making 0 mistakes on the flight portion and flawless on the orals. I'm currently cramming right now for my instrument stage 4 (mid course) stage check, it sucks lol.

Not really sure how to elaborate on it, but if you wanna ask any specific questions, I'm all ears.

Also, like someone else mentioned, don't expect to meet girls at an aviation college lol.
