Wherever you are doing flight training at, always remember one thing. Flight training is a business with a lot of money involved.
I was talking to one of my students who did some training at an FBO in California. The FBO was at a small airport and only had a self serve fuel pump. He paid money up front, and eventually found out that he was being billed the extra .1 to .3 it was taking to taxi to the fuel pump and back. And if an instructor was with him, he was paying for the instructor time too. Granted .1 or .2 is that much but after about ten flights, he had just spent an extra 100 hours or more.
Just a word to the wise, pay as you go during flight training. That way if anything ever goes wrong, or if the flight school closes, you aren't out a couple thousand dollars.
