Hi Brice,
Nice to see you on this list.
Well, as I'm sure you know, I'd say Colorado is the best, (Never mind the
fact that I've only ever been to the CCB, Lol)
I think that every center, (granted I have not loked at the others) must
have it's highlights, but I believe it is up to people's preferences.
Similar to choosing what university you should go to, I think you need to
take some time in deciding what training center you will go to.
I have a friend who is attending all thre centers consecutively due to her
mom's request. She attended LCB two summers ago, and attended CCB last
summer as one of my roommates. Where I am going back to CCB this coming
summer, she is moving on to the third NFB training center and will not
return.
I felt very comfortable and welcomed at the CCB. And as you mentioned cane
travel I'd like to point this out. I was a pretty good traveler before the
summer program, but my confidence and skill was built up tremendously at the
center, not just with my instructor, but by seeing other students my age
learning the same things, and by watching the ITP students working with
there instructors.
Anyways, I think unless you talk to someone like my friend who's testing all
three, you will get a biased approach just like when you ask a group of
people which high school football team is better, they will normally vote
for theirs.
Talk to you soon.
