Time and time again these threads pop up, and people who often only have experience of one FTO say that it's the 'best'. You have to go where suits you as an individual, and go and visit that organisation before relying on people's ill-informed opinions on this forum. There is no way you'll make enough money in 3 years after graduating for an integrated course (average grad salary is £20-25 p.a. BEFORE tax) and to be honest, I wouldn't bother with Uni if you want to go the integrated route.

With the credit crunch approaching and after yesterday's cautious budget from the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, I would seriously consider the modular route especially with the level of debt you would have to go into. It is far cheaper, you get the same licence, and contrary to belief of many of you wannabes, there are a great many who get very good jobs on shiny jets even with 250 hrs. Me being one of them.

Good luck!!
