Default Good PPL school for international student

Hey,
I am looking for a flight school in the US quite a while. Does anyone have any recommendation?
I'd prefer a school with accommodation but that's not a big issue.

Thank you people

That question is a little hard to answer.
Being a foreign student means you can only go to Part 141 Pilot schools that can issue an I-20 which you need for your M-1 visa application.
Here you can search by city or state:

Keep in mind the USA is very big so seasonal differences can be big.
Training in Florida in the winter time is perfect and in Kansas it’s miserable.
The southern states are historically the biggest flight training states.

Flight Safety in Vero Beach, FL does a lot of training. They have a high number of students from overseas, check them out.

There are others of course.

Is the OP trying to get an FAA certificate, or EASA, or DGCA, etc?
