BAC offers an alternate route to UOL external.
A very good example is,
If u fail your UOL external in BAC, and you planned to change to UKT , they will allow you to sit for examination (of course you need to pay) , if you pass that exam then you are still eligible to continue your journey.
Else, if you fail in ATC , they do not have the alternate route for you which you must resit paper again in next year together with your passed subject.
This is the rigidity of UOL External. They don't give compassion.
But what I think BAC is really like a family style of management whereby you can know all the persons in charge, you can even tap on their shoulder saying 'wassup bro' to the lecturers and even the principals are friendly to joke with you.
ATC is more like a typical company, students could not get a chance to really connect to the staffs etc. Furthermore there are rules to be complied such as you must attend the tutorials and lectures else if you do not attend for more than few times, they will give a call to your parents.
They treat you like a kid, of course its for your own good.
In the end, it depends on which style you like..for me, I prefer family style cos you can really feel the genuine interest from the staffs and lecturers.
Allow me to rebuke your statement on ATC being akin to a typical company. A very good example is,

Firstly, it is true that there are rules to abide by, but the requirement of attending tutorials and lectures are only for A level and Intermediate students. The reason being, it is within general consensus that Intermediate LLB for UOL serves as a screening process for students intending to pursue the degree. You will not be treated like "a kid" during Part 1 and Part 2...further it is not a hard and fast rule and the college will consider student's age, overall conduct etc in determining whether there is a need to call his/her parents....it's a last resort measure.
Further, ATC lecturers are just as approachable as any BAC lecturer. And considering that there are more lecturers, it would actually be easier to contact any one of them at any given point of time. When I was a student, I'd waltz into their rooms whenever they were around at ATC KL. A few of them may be intimidating, but I have never had the problem of connecting with any of them...and the junior lecturers are constantly bombarded with calls from students anyway!
If you have had any personal experiences regarding the lack of opportunity to contact or meet with a lecturer, pm me.
