EFT & Delta Academy Questions

OK, I know that there have been many posts regarding both EFT and the Delta Academy - believe me, I have spent the last few weeks reading a large majority of them!
However, there are a couple of questions that I would like answered from a students point of view, rather than the schools themselves.

Firstly, does anyone know how much Delta charge for their student housing? I have looked on their website and also have the most recent pack from them but there appears to be no mention of cost?
Secondly, I am trying to decide between EFT and Delta Academy to complete my CPL from zero hours (EFT's APP or Delta's Professional Pilot Internship Programme). They both cost similar amounts of money but EFT give you approx. 1500 hours on completion where as Delta give only 800-900. Both programmes include 12 months of instructorship. Would it be better to go for EFT's which offers most hours or am I just as likely to gain employment with 800 hours?
Finally, can any RECENT students from either of these schools give opinions on the area where you are based (Fort Pierce for EFT and Sanford for Delta). Are there any problems living in these areas? Is there plenty to do in recreation terms in both places

Looking forward to some opinions which may assist me in making a final decision.
Thanks

Matthew
