Any more personal feedback you can give me on that location would be much appreciated.

ATL (FTY actually) is a busy facility, and I heard horror stories from students there about having to fly the sim at 3 AM just because it was the only time open. I'd recommend RIC--not quite so busy, good airspace, and a short flight to the practice areas.
Yes, you can always grab an instructor for impromptu ground school, and sometimes they will sit you down in a classroom to discuss a topic but it is hardly a formalized thing, in my experience.
BTW, CFI school in JAX is supposed to be better than at FTY.
Apartments are about the same at all facilities; decent, and as clean as you keep them!
