Four schools have been mentioned: BFC, MFC, VFC, and Harv's. If you are considering each, it must be that you will consider relocating for your training. Therefore, while considering what each school has to offer, also consider the locale.

Brampton area, close to Toronto, lots to do otherwise, but moderately expensive to live.

Moncton area, a little less to do than Toronto area, and lower living cost.

Victoria (Sydney, BC), Beautiful! Lots to see and do, very expensive to live.

Harv's, St Andrews (not too far from Winnipeg), it's the prairies, not so much to do, and you can see a long way on a clear day, even just standing. But cost of living is lower. Selkirk, just north of Harv's is actually a pretty nice town.

If the training were equal at each school, then consider the relationship of your other life activities and cost. If you're dedicated to only fly, keep the other costs and distractions to a minimum. If your flying is going to be a part of your awesome life, it's going to cost you more, but go somewhere with a lot to offer...

I learned at BFC, and have flown at each of the other places discussed many times. I have found the weather to be a little less consistent VMC in the Maritimes (Moncton).
