Know this right now before you do anything: THERE IS NO CHEAP WAY TO LEARN HOW TO FLY!!
Everybody is always looking for the cheapest and quickest ways. There are none. It is a matter of which is best for you. I am one stage check away from graduating from the University of North Dakota with a B.S. in Commercial Aviation. Good school, but flying is just plain expensive.
Thing to look for in a school:
What are their graduates currently doing
Where is the school -
weather, plane availability, cost of living, etc.
What kind of equipment do they have
Resources available to students
Flight course policies - UND does not give you you instrument rating at the end of you instrument course.
Those are just basic things that I figured out myself afterwards. Weather is a big factor, I think. UND is obviously cold, but you can still fly. No mountains to crash into or to stall out storm systems. They have good equipment loaded with technology also. They are Cessnas from the 60's.
Just make sure to weigh your options carefully.
