woundwort,
Are you from IL.? I am not familiar with this school but if you are planning to travel to a school out of state you may want to check into Central Tech in Drumright, OK (
http://www.tdt-ok.com/ ). Their out of state tuition rates are really good and if you speak with some of the OTR companies (CFI, JB Hunt, Arrow, Passmore to name a few) they have training arrangements with them already.
Just graduated from Central Tech and I can write volumes on how exceptional the facility, instructors and staff are there. If you search the message boards you won't find anything negative about them.
