What about accommodations and meals .. nothing listed on their site.. and is that included in your $ 3200 ??

I know that often when paying cash for these schools you get a discount.. was that the case with Daly, or is that the fee even if financed ?
When I Attended Dalys we had one from out of the area. He paid for his own hotel room, (They helped set him up with a close place and rides to and from the hotel) He paid for his own meals. The price only includes the school, everything else is extra. Yes there was a discount for cash payment, but I do not recall the amount.
Hope that helps.

I finished the regular three weeks of school on Friday. Everything went great. I go back tomorrow for a day of practice and test out on Wednesday or Thursday.
As for out of state. We had all local students in my class so I can say much about that other than your lodging and meals would be above the 3300 tuition. The school is very close to I-985 and the Mall of Georgia so there are alot of places to stay that are close to school.
As for the instructors. They really made the course alot of fun and they will stay after hours to help students that are having trouble.
I decided to go to Daly's instead of Georgia Driving Academy because the state comes to the school to test you the week after you finish the course and at GDA an appointment must be made for you to test at either Milageville or Jackson GA. This could take as long as 3 weeks. I also had a better feeling about Daly's after droping into each school twice to look around.
Hope this helps.

I will have one of the forum administrators send you a PM from me(I can't PM yet on my own). I have another idea for your husband and it won't cost you a dime for him to get his CDL
