Please don't base your decision on whichever one gets the most votes here. There are many reasons why anyone chooses one over the other, and some, or even most, of those reasons might not apply to you.

Generally, I would always suggest classroom unless either you can't afford the money, or you can't afford the time. However, I know there are a (very small) number of people who feel they can learn better by studying at home, who would prefer distance learning.

I opted for distance learning because I didn't have the time for a full-time course. I have no regrets, but it was very hard work.

You seem to have settled on Bristol for distance learning. Can I ask why? They are, IMHO, the best all-round school for distance learning. (I used them, and they got me 14/14 first-time passes with a 90%+ average, so they can't be too bad!) That doesn't mean they'll suit everyone, though, and I was just curious as to why you thought they'd suit you since you haven't given any clues!
