University THEN drama school

Basically, I'm very confused about what I want to do as a career. I've always loved writing and would love a career along the lines of screenwriting, novelist, journalist, publisher and maybe even teaching. However, I also have a passion for drama and acting, and wouldn't ever want to let go of it. Ideally, I'd love to be in a career that combines the two.

I've considered going straight to Drama school, but I really want to study English at a higher level also. I look at people like Julian Slade who had the privilege of attending both and this is, ideally, what I'd like to do. I have several questions, before hand, though:

Are you allowed to take more than one degree?
Would I receive student loans for both degrees or just my first?
And, finally, would it be worth it?

Are you allowed to take more than one degree? You can take as many as you can afford - which leads me to:

Would I receive student loans for both degrees or just my first? Just your first. You might get a full scholarship for a drama school if you were very talented. Don't bank on that route.
And, finally, would it be worth it? God knows. But you don't need a degree in English to be a writer.
