I hate to contradict everybody but i would say go to university first. Mainly for the just in case situation. God forbid any of us spend all the money on the training and then don't get a job, fail the training, lose your medical etc. etc. etc. At least it gives you something to fall back on, and you can't beat the life at uni. I finished my degree last year and started training early this year and have no regrets.
