Why do it if it's not fun?

Mazzy,

The schools you mention are both JAR schools.

Obviously if you're looking to train for a JAR license or rating, going to a JAR school is important (despite what some non-JAR schools might try to tell you).

But if all you're looking to do is hour-build, there's no need to restrict yourself to a JAR school. There are, quite literally, hundreds of good schools around America which will rent you an aircraft - so there's no point narrowing yourself down to the very small number which are approved for JAR courses.

There's another thread on which this is discussed in more detail, and I think it's that same thread on which I've suggested going somewhere different, perhaps Canada or South Africa, for hour-building. I won't repeat the fors/againsts here, but this was discussed within the last few days, so it shouldn't take too much searching to find it.

[Edit, because I found the thread I was thinking of. I said it wouldn't take too long! It's here]
