Naples are also pretty good , I used to know a few staff there, and they are pretty good.
You will be pressurised into working hard for it, and its' worth it in the end, remember that the PPL is just the first small step, and its a very basic step in a long journey of experience.
remember that you'll have the licence but not the experience after you finish, this is exactly the same for every large school, unless you are lucky enough to get a 70 year old tailwheel fox and he shows you what he knows.
Many of the schools in FL are there for one reason, to make money, if you consider this in the context of the school then all the big ones are pretty similar, it's up to you to perform when you get there.
Don't be surprised if the equipment seems tatty compared to the shiney stuff you see in the UK, it gets used alot more and abused alot more (usually by students no matter who they are).
You'll still have to get some quality time elsewhere after your PPL as most of the schools teach you to a standard to pass the exams, not stick and rudder skills.
Also remember not to pay up front, and also you get what you pay for - meaning there are no bargains, if you try and cut corners you'll pay for it later.
For example I went and did a tailwheel/bush course after OBA, and it felt like learning to fly all over again <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
infact every day seems like learning to fly again
. .g'luck and enjoy, the yanks are(used) to be great about students flying in their airspace, recent events have made them understandibly jumpy.

Sorry had to edit a school, but that is PPRuNe policy. The main stuff is fine.
