    just food, gas to class, and the permit. If your not from ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania then you will have to buy a ohio license and thats $23. Other than that there is no more out of pocket costs to you

    thats the only down fall about the school IMO is the class days. you go mon-thrus for classroom, and then either drive mon-wed or thurs-sat. Me being from MI im not just going to sit around out of state for 4 days so i waste about 120 per week driving back to MI to see my daughter

    not bad if you have David Dan for a instructor it will be fun. I think he is the only instructor for the 16 week course(16 week is what they call it but its really only 10 weeks)
