Yes I have read around thank you. While I agree with 99% of opinions here, I think that at your stage, with a PPL in hand and a definite direction you would be better served doing the groundschool. People who I suggest go to uni are the ones who "quite fancy being a pilot" but seem to:
a. have no real idea of whats involved
b. not been near an aircraft
c. Can see themselves with other career possibilities
This is only my opinion. I went to uni to do aero eng and consider it a waste of the 4 years. My ambitions hadn't changed and I had wasted time and considerable effort on quite a tough degree which I naievly (???) thought would make me a good candidate for an airline job. The good point was that it made the bank more amenable to lending me bags of cash.
