This is turning into a general discussion of whether it's a good idea to get your EASA-PPL in the US rather than in Europe.
There's an excellent thread by backpacker (pinned to the top of the "Private Flying" forum) that deals with all conceivable aspects of this particular discussion here:

This thread here was supposed to private guidance to those who've already made that decision and are unsure which school to go along with in the US. I'd suggest to keep it that way and add any NEW aspects to the thread linked above.
There is many good reasons
pro and
con training in the US and it's a very personal decision. I regret nothing. ;-)
