Alas no I couldn't have worked there as I was on a M1 visa at that time, Out of 10 people I went with I think two got offered jobs there to teach.
A couple of guys I went with rented rooms off craigslist in the local area but i'm not sure what they were paying.
One of the reasons I liked them is they went out of there way to help out and they did there best to get me done in the 30 days (I think I did it in 35 days) They treated me as a customer rather than just another cash source like some flight schools.
The instructors were good, most of them have been teaching there 10 + years.
I wouldn't recommend the MEI there though unless you don't mind paying extra. Doing it in the C310 was not cheep
Did I mention friday was pizza day too
