I was on the same course at Glasgow as a couple of the previous posters.
I needed the kick up the @rse that a full time course provides after trying dl and not taking time out to do enough study. I passed all but one exam first time (missed one by 1%) with good marks. I found that Glasgow was ok place to stay local amenities are good, super markets, leisure centre for those well needed hours off.
The college itself is well equipped library etc. The aviation department is very small with only three lecturers when I was there. All of whom were ok and approachable. The notes were not good, I supplemented mine with a set off Bristol which were very clear and concise.
At the end of the day I would not advise anyone to do a full time course (anywhere) try dl first, you need to treat it like a job though, get up early and get studying, it’s down to you which ever way you do it! You have to put the hours in.
I believe Bristol now do introductory study days for people just starting, I would have gone to these if they had been invented when I started.
You can still do the exams at Glasgow and study at home, you will save money and time and it will be more convenient all round.
Good luck…………
