I definately encourage you to go to uni. I had an amazing time at uni. I hated my course, but in my opinion that wasn't really the point of uni. The point of uni is:
- Nights out all the time, during the week.
- Halls of residence (an experience!)
- Girls (obviously)
- More nights out
- Meet loads of different people.
- More nights out
- And a degree at the end of it. (some work is required)
Im off to NZ now to start my training with CTC. Although Ive always wanted to fly, I doubt Il enjoy it as much as I did uni, after all it is a job. Uni will be the best years of your life, don't miss it.
ps - the UAS is great fun as well, and gives you excellent flying training, as often as you want, for free. Plenty of drink consumed there too.
