I'm loving it! The Lecturers I have had this year have been really good and they have a strong online component for most of the subjects. A friend of mine who is a year ahead of me in the same course said she has had 2 lecturers that didn't really exude excitement for the subject which made it hard for her to remain enthusiastic, but she said if that was the only downside, then it wasn't that bad at all.

I've not had to go to any intensive schools as yet, but I think I will have one subject next year where I have to go. Two of the subjects I did this year had them, but they were non-mandatory so I didn't go. In October they will put up all the subject information for next years courses, so you may not be able to find out which ones have intensive schools until then. I think for my degree, there are only a few subjects that do the intensive schools which is good.
