I graduated from southampton uni in Aeronautics and astronautics, 1996. I studyed aero because i was mad about planes, admittedly it was more maths than aircraft, and very hard. Sometimes frustrating when you are in lectures or labs when all your mates are in the pub, but it has stood me in very good stead for the ATPLs, particularly the techs.
If you just want to experience uni, don't do aero, but if you are commited the hard work is worth it in the end.
