what school did you attend and how many hours was program?

I'm currently still researching schools and I have a few in mind now that are in various states mostly out west and in NW. It's tough to really find feedback on different schools so I thought it might be an interesting thread to know where people attended schools, how long their program was and what they thought the strengths (and weaknesses if you care to share) were of the program. Would you change anything if you were to do it all over again? ie. more hours, different type of program, different state etc.

I loved the thread about what everyone did before massage and I really think this could be an interesting thread for those of us finding the forum who have yet to commit to schools.

Thanks!!!
