Uni a good idea?

Hi, I'm 17 and at college and thinking about university as they all tell you to. Always wanted, and still do, to fly for an airline.
What are your thoughts on whether or not uni is worthwhile for someone with these ambitions? And what kind of course or particular university would you recommend- I've heard people say best to do something not related to aviation, then embark on your career aftwerwards. I also understand university is an experience not to be missed.
I know you guys are pilots and not careers advisors, but hey, no harm in asking what you think, because I could do with some guidance before making a mistake.
Thanks in advance
