Why do it if it's not fun?

Reido,

You will get lots of replies to this. Anyone who's been to any of the schools will (in general) sing their praises. Partly because they won't admit they made a bad choice unless it was very bad, and party because they don't have anything to compare it to. Anyone who hasn't been to a particular school will slag them off - mainly because it's only the bad bits they've heard about.

I haven't used any of the schools you mention, so I think I'm in a position to give impartial advice. Visit all the schools you're looking at (granted that will be difficult for the foreign schools, but at least phone them and spend 15 minutes or more talking to instructors if you can). Then decide which you like best.

All of them have good points and bad points, and everyone has different needs. If it wasn't that way, if there was one school which really was best, everyone would use that one school and all the others would be forced to close down.
