But, that doesn't make that much difference for a long-term training program.
Given your two choices, I'd lean towards Hillsboro too.
Thanks for the response ! Have talked to other students from Hillsboro as well and they are pleased with their training there. They are pretty honest with how weather affects them but I guess it might really be good training !
