Another Satisfied Bristol stude!
Unusually I used only the CD - without books (I was with another school who went under about a week after I bought all their stuff. The nice man at the CAA said that since I already owned an approved study course - a requirement - I didn't have to buy another stack of books, so I went to Bristol and used their CD).
Can get a bit irritating (physically) if you like hardcopy rather than staring at a monitor for long hours, but a laptop takes up considerably less space than 14 Ring Binders!.
