Some more advice on figuring out what each community/aircraft/coast/etc. you'd like-
When talking to individual instructors, I wouldn't ask them open-ended questions like, "How was it?" or, "What did you like about it?" because the answer you'll almost always get will be vague like, "The flying was pretty good," or, "Living in xyz was pretty good."
Try asking guys to describe one or two things that they didn't like about their selection and to also please explain why. You might get an earful because that individual was particularly bitter about something (so take it with a grain of salt), but you'll probably surprise the instructor with such a critical question and get a thoughtful answer in return.
