Flying School or Aviation Degree

Hi there. This may have been discussed elsewhere but I couldn't find it through the search options. As per my earlier post, I have just completed HSC in Australia and got an offer for a Bachelor of Aviation. We have have been discussing this with a pilot friend who has suggested considering flying school. I'm keen to go to university; however my parents are suggesting I seriously consider flying schools at it may be quicker and potential cheaper.

I have done some research and basically the cost of the aviation training through the flying school is on a par with what it will cost me on the aviation degree. The extra cost with university is the actual university degree, however there is the added benefit of the university's association with Qantaslink.

Any thoughts, input on my decision making process would be appreciated.
