Aerich forgot to mention that the sleeping is during the lectures, as your too busy getting drunk at night to sleep. Be sure to get a good tape recorder, so you can record the lectures for later.
Seriously though, I've had limited experience in college/uni. I do have some credits though, and basically, it's just like going to high school, er, not sure how you refer to it in England, but I hope you take my meaning. The course selection is what makes the major difference. You will develop complete control of what you want to learn about, within set boundaries, anyway.
For example, if you want to major in Law, you will have courses that are required to take, which is obvious, I'm sure, but the elective courses are what will help you broaden your horizons, so you could try a minor in I.T. If you find that law isn't for you, and who could blame you there, you still have the minor to fall back on. However, give it a shot. Law is a very lucrative career. Myself, had my circumstances been different, ol' Michael Creighton may have based Jurrasic Park on some of my work. I was way into paleontology as a child.
It's going to be a fun time, and it's going to prepare you for life in the real world, bet ya' didn't know you've been living in the fake world, did ya'?
Lots of luck. You have plenty of time to research what you want to do. I encourage you to look into the respective fields, and see what you think. You are your own best judge of what you can and cannot do.
