it really depends on yourself tbh...
Personally, I work and do the distance learning course as I cannot afford to do it any other way.
Weigh up the pros and cons...
Distance learning-
you will be at home
no class room, u have to do a lot urself
you will have ur family and friends(don't know if that's a pro/con!lol)
you can work and earn money/study in the evenings+weekends
BRS have a great support set up, so if u get stuck, u can call/email/go on their forum
Full-time
Classroom environment
no income/you'll have to budget/support urself from savings
Maybe it's quicker than distance learning?
You'll be on ur lonesome without the family/friends (a good or bad thing??)
and so on.....
Getting into the swing of things is the hardest part, but once you get into a routine with ur studying, it becomes a lot easier.
I am very undisciplined when it comes to studying and it took a lot of effort for me at the start. I had to force myself away from the telly and plonk myself at the desk(aka my mother's dining room table...lol)...
but i'm getting through it all, slowly but surely
It is a hard slog at times...you come home from work, ur tired, u cudn't be ar5ed 2study, but sometimes u gotta bite the bullet and just do it.
I missed out on a lot of nights out with friends for ages and other things, but now that i'm doing mod 2, I'm trying to find a better balance....
I hope this is of some help 2u
