Bluesky--I did most of my training at the Chicago (PWK) American Flyers.
Compared to other schools on the field, it is very expensive. There are many reasons for this, if you'd like to know more about my experience, PM me and I'll gladly tell you about it.
I would suggest visiting it along with a part 61 school on the field and compare the two to get a feel for what will work best for you, and not let anyone talk you into attending their school, but choose one based on quality of the instructors and training aircraft.
