Well the course is around 67 weeks long if memory serves, obviously some of the posters in this forum are used for £500 per week for food and accommodation (actually it's more than this as the 20 weeks accommodation in Phoenix is included in the integrated course ... but then, given the exchange rates and relative costs, I guess it is easy to spend $100 per day on food in the US??????).

Lastly - and I love this part, people always include the accommodation / food when exaggerating the OAA costs, but seem to blissfully exclude them from all other options. Obviously Modular students are able to live and eat for free during their training.

Without doubt, OAA Integrated is pretty much the most expensive route to the same license at the end of the day and in the current climate, I am sure most people are giving careful consideration to their choice of when to train and with who - especially if they are taking a bank loan to fund it.
