How to choose where to go for massage therapy?

I am already in the healthcare field (occupational therapy) , living in florida, and I would like to become a massage therapist. How do I decide which school to go to? I’d like to stay in Florida for Massage therapy school. Does anyone attend a massage therapy school in FLorida (especially in Ft Myers, Gainesville or Tampa) or have you? Are you happy with the school and your massage education? There are so many choices when it comes to schools, and very few are accredited. The ones that are accredited are more expensive (from what I’ve seen online ranging from 7000- 10000$)There are some non accredited schools priced from 2000- 5000$… I want a good education, but don’t have tons of money to spend on massage school right now. So how do I decide- does anyone in the field have any advice?
THe other question is… if a school has more credits in their program like 700-1000, rather than the very basic 500 credits required by fl law, then is it inherently a better school?
Thanks
