As an aero/astro grad all i can say is look around, ensure the course is accredited by the Royal Aero Society( on behalf of the Engineering council). Aero Eng is hard work but if you really want to do it stick at it. The first two years are more to do with applied maths than flying. Chose which course suits your needs then look at the town/city, all unis tend to have a good social life, but not all have a UAS, which may be of interest, but be aware spending all your time flying wont get you a degree!
